# Richmond Museum of History and Culture

##### Richmond, California

 

**The Richmond Museum of History and Culture** has announced its newest interactive exhibit offers Bay Area residents the chance to learn to speak _Chochenyo _— one of eight language dialects of the East Bay_ Ohlone_ people—while also discovering more about this Native American culture.

 

> “The Native American Advisory Council consists of _Ohlone_ people from all over the Bay Area,” said McCrary about the exhibit. “With a grant from the California Humanities Council, the Museum was able to create a kiosk with a 55” touchscreen monitor where visitors can read and hear _Chochenyo_ spoken by _Ohlone_ language specialist Deja Gould.”

The new display is the brainchild of museum Director Melinda McCrary, who spent half a decade working with an advisory group of Bay Area Native people to develop an interactive exhibit that introduces _Chochenyo_, a dialect of the East Bay _Ohlones_, stated the museum. Richmond web designer Kimberly Paternoster built the software and Native American artist Beatrice Oregel created the display’s drawings and artwork.
