Gavin Newsom officially changed the name of UC Hastings College of the Law to UC College of the Law, San Francisco., renaming the SF law school that was founded in 1878 by Serranus Clinton Hastings.
The bill"also outlines several restorative justice initiatives that the College intends to pursue, such as renaming the law library with a Native language name, annually reading a statement of the atrocities Hastings committed against the Yuki people and providing collaborative opportunities for Round Valley tribal students to gain debate and writing experience, among other efforts," according to a statement by the governor's office.
"As we lift up the rich history and contributions of California’s diverse tribal communities today, the state recommits to building on the strides we have made to redress historical wrongs and help empower Native communities," Newsom said."Today's measures continue to move these efforts forward, including a new emergency alert system that will provide us with additional critical tools needed to address the crisis of Missing and Murdered Indigenous People.
Newsom also signed two other bills, AB1314 and AB2022, designed to support Native American communities throughout California.
