"We Are Still Here"
By Mark Nicely in collaboration with Larry Sillaway
Located in the West Plaza of the Cesar Chavez Student Center at SFSU.
The mural depicts community activism, self determination, resistance and survivance of Native American people and the defense of native lands. It also makes a connection between the SF State Strike of 1968-69 and the occupation of Alcatraz.
