Sign here if you want to support Chico state in making a memorial for the Mechoopda tribe for losing their land to build Chico state.Did you know Chico state is built on the Mechoopda tribe village.So if you want to have a memorial for the Mechoopda tribe sign our petition to have Chico state to make a MEMORIAL !!!!When Chico State was being built they found more than 400,000 artifacts. In 1806 when Chico State was still being built they found 158 individual skeletons nearly 2,800 bones. The Mechoopda were the first people in this area until the settlers came.

Chico State continues to sit on the stolen land of the Mechoopda while ignoring the hundreds of thousands of artifacts they unearthed during construction. It is infuriating that they treat these ancestral remains and destroyed history as nothing more than a footnote in their campus expansion. We are pushing for this memorial because the institution needs to stop burying the truth of what they did to this land.
