In 1976, the Community History Project (CHP) grew out of the interests of Geraldine (Gerri) Martinez Lira, Marilyn LaPlante
St. Germaine, and Susan Lobo to preserve the histories of American Indians whose lives were greatly impacted by the federal
relocation programs that moved them from reservations to the Bay Area with the promise of sustainable employment, better education
for their children, and affordable housing. Initially, the CHP committee focused on recording their oral histories, but as
the committee expanded, with Sharon Mitchell Bennett, Charlene Betsillie and Joyce Keoke joining, the project's focus expanded
as well. The project produced an unique archives documenting the history of the San Francisco Bay Area urban community, exhibits,
and a book, "Urban Voices." The CHP was an Intertribal Friendship House program; the American Indian Community History Center
was the non-profit organization created to preserve the materials the project produced and collected.
