Future Installations - Memorial Union

Memorial Union Installation

The Committee to Honor Patwin and Native Americans at UC Davis has received approval for two installations that will take place during the 2026-27 fiscal year. One installation will be located near the sidewalk from North Quad that approaches the north entrance of the Memorial Union. This location was among those originally proposed in the "Plan for the UC Davis Project to Honor Native Americans," completed in 2006.
