The University of California at Davis sits on land originally occupied by Native Americans of the local area, the Patwin people. Throughout the campus, Patwin occupation has been identified and recorded through archaeological investigations. As history is learned, here as elsewhere, the indigenous people suffered great devastation with the arrival of the Spanish, the Mexicans, and other Europeans who settled the region. Despite this history, today, Native Americans, as well as others, have emerged and created a strong and influential group dedicated to recognize both the Patwin history of the campus site and the current Native Americans among the faculty, staff, and students. Quadriga in collaboration with Far Western Anthropological Group worked with the University and the project committee to create an interpretive plan, marking eleven sites throughout the campus to inform and remind visitors of its rich past, long before Davis ever existed. Through many meetings with the committee and consultations with Patwin tribal members, the schematic plan was finalized. Ten installations include vertically mounted basalt columns with text engraved, in various compositions with paving and planting. The primary installation is located near Putah Creek in the arboretum and has been referred to as the “Reflective Area”. This memorial includes basalt columns, as described above, and a path leading to a “coiled” seat wall which terminates in the center with an engraved basalt column listing 51 Patwin People who were removed to missions in the early 1800’s.
