Some members of the Yuki tribe are urging Hastings to rename the school with a name from the Yuki language. One suggestions from the Round Valley Yuki committee is “Powen’om,” which means “one people.” Via nytimes
One new name suggestion includes the Yuki word “Powen’om,” which means ‘one people.’When a New York Times article last year detailed the involvement of the founder of the University of California, Hastings College of the Law in state-sponsored massacres of Indigenous Californians, an outcry ensued. The law school’s board swiftly and unanimously agreed to change the school’s name.
A small but vocal group of people at Hastings believe that the university should keep its name after all. “San Francisco is a world-class city, well known for dynamism and innovation — qualities that distinguish our law school as well,” Faigman said in a written answer to my questions. “The San Francisco name also conveys the useful information of where we are located and aligns us with the naming convention of every other campus of the University of California.”
“I want payback,” Brown told me. “You can call it reparations or social justice or whatever. I want our name on there.” The leadership of the Round Valley Indian Tribes met Wednesday to discuss the name but did not reach a decision, Brown said.
