Sunrise Ceremony held on Alcatraz Island

The wind had died down in the Berkeley Marina and all that was left was the quiet expanse of docked boats and the heavy smell of smoke in the air. Fires were burning across Sonoma County and Napa Valley, and the 4 a.m. light pollution caught the ashy haze in the sky. The crew began getting ready to embark. Kanyon Sayers-Roods — a member of the Mutsun Ohlone from Indian Canyon, which is the only federally acknowledged Indian country along the California coast between Rohnert Park and Santa Barbara — began the morning by recognizing that this was Ohlone land.
