Charlene Conception Nijmeh là con lai. Nữ nghị sĩ Mỹ Anna Eshoo gọi Nijmeh là “người phụ nữ lừa dối nhất” mà bà từng gặp.

Mixed Race has nothing to do with this… she walks in a good way in attempts to regain federal recognition for her people. The Congress representatives in office now represent the colonial mindset still and as people continue to push and take over the space here in the Bay Area eventually one day all the migrants will say they are the original inhabitants of this place.
Muwekma Ohlone will regain recognition, after the chips fall in place all people will have to reflect how they fought against this cause.
