The San Francisco Commission held a significant meeting recently, marked by a unanimous decision to acknowledge the land's indigenous heritage. The commission recognized that they are on the unceded ancestral homeland of the Ramaytush Ohlone, the original inhabitants of the San Francisco Peninsula. This acknowledgment serves as a reminder of the ongoing responsibilities of the Ramaytush Ohlone as caretakers of the land and affirms their sovereign rights as the first peoples.

In addition to the land acknowledgment, the meeting included a moment of condolence for Commissioner Imperial, who was absent due to a death in her family. The commission expressed their deepest sympathies during this difficult time.

The meeting also featured updates from the Historic Preservation Commission, which recently approved three legacy business applications. These businesses include Oscar's Photo Lab on Brannon Street, Pact Incorporated on Divisidero Street, and Shaw Shoes on Union Street. This approval highlights the commission's commitment to preserving the cultural and historical fabric of San Francisco.

As the meeting progressed, public comments were invited, with one speaker emphasizing the importance of addressing sound issues in housing projects, particularly in relation to the Wisconsin project discussed in a previous meeting. This reflects ongoing community concerns about livability in housing developments.

Overall, the meeting underscored the commission's dedication to honoring indigenous heritage, supporting local businesses, and addressing community concerns, setting a proactive tone for future initiatives in San Francisco.
