Working With Us
At Alameda Native History Project, we believe in working in a good way—with mutual respect, transparency, and shared responsibility. Our programs are built with care, intention, and cultural integrity. This page outlines how we work, what we offer, and what we expect in meaningful partnerships and collaborations.
Inclusion & Non-Discrimination
Alameda Native History Project is Indigenous and Two-Spirit led. We are committed to creating BIPOC-centered spaces that are inclusive of all gender identities, expressions, and orientations.
We recognize that gender diversity is Indigenous. Across Native communities, there have always been roles for people of all genders—including third-gender and non-binary individuals. Our cultures hold stories of transformation, cross-dressing, and ceremonial responsibilities that exist outside of binary gender roles. These identities are traditional—not new.
We do not work with individuals or organizations that:
- Fail to recognize the rights of Indigenous and trans people
- Exclude or discriminate based on gender, sexuality, race, ethnicity, country of origin, immigration status, or any aspect of identity
- Promote or align with hateful or exclusionary ideologies
Creating inclusive, affirming, and culturally safe spaces is not a preference—it’s a reflection of who we are.
What We Provide
Alameda Native History Project brings cultural depth, planning experience, and authentic engagement to every collaboration. We offer:
- Mission-Aligned Programming: Community-centered, culturally relevant events grounded in Indigenous knowledge.
- Reliable Planning & Communication: We plan ahead, meet deadlines, and communicate clearly.
- Community Engagement & Outreach: We actively promote and engage with diverse audiences.
- Documentation & Evaluation: We provide flyers, descriptions, and post-event summaries when needed.
What We Value in Partnerships
We thrive in partnerships where responsibilities are clearly defined, communication is responsive, and goals are mutually supported. We believe successful collaborations are built on:
- Clarity: Early, transparent communication helps our programming thrive.
- Shared Responsibility: Each party brings their role to the table.
- Mutual Accountability: We seek honest, solution-focused communication.
- Respect for Mission and Leadership: We expect cultural humility and alignment with our values.
Additional Considerations
- Planning Timeline
We ask for at least 4–6 weeks’ notice for partnerships involving space use or public-facing programming. For larger collaborations or funding-dependent efforts, we encourage reaching out as early as possible. - Accessibility
We strive to ensure our events are accessible to all. If you are offering a venue or participating in co-hosting, please let us know about accessibility features (ADA access, restrooms, parking) or limitations in advance. - Media & Documentation
We take the privacy and dignity of our participants seriously. While ANHP may sometimes agree to media clauses as an organization, this does not extend to our participants. We do not and cannot waive their rights.
It is the sole responsibility of partners, vendors, and any third-party media professionals to obtain informed consent and ensure proper credit and cultural context when documenting any aspect of ANHP events—especially if that content will be published anywhere.
