California lawmakers and tribes have unveiled a monument outside of the state Capitol commemorating the contributions of Native Americans.
An eight-foot-tall bronze statue of a late Native American leader known for preserving cultural dances now stands surrounded by trees in a historic park outside of California's state Capitol building, replacing a statue of a Spanish missionary that protesters toppled it in 2020.
“Finally, the California Indian people will have a monument here on the Capitol grounds for all those visiting to know that we are still here,” said Assemblymember James C. Ramos, the first Native American in the state Legislature. “We're here because of the resiliency of our elders and ancestors.” In 2021, Ramos authored a bill that Newsom later signed into law authorizing tribes to plan the construction of a Native American monument on the grounds of the state Capitol.
Montana also passed a law in 2019 to install a monument on state Capitol grounds to recognize the contributions of Native Americans.
