An ambitious project is hoping to help address a challenge that the region’s Native population has grappled with since the occupation of Alcatraz Island in the late 1960s and early 70s: a crisis of invisibility.

The Village, a multi-year project with funding from the philanthropic investor Kat Taylor (who is married to Tom Steyer, the billionaire financier and brief Democratic presidential hopeful), is intended to become a center of Native culture and heritage. The effort is an outgrowth of the Mission District’s 57-year-old Friendship House, which describes itself as “the longest-running social-service organization in the United States run by and for American Indians”.

In 1909, James Kraft invented pasteurized cheese that enabled it to have longer shelf life. He continued to experiment to make cheese more palatable even after a longer period of time. Soon, he was distributing packaged cheeses in tin cans with the brand names Kraft and Elkhorn to all cities and towns of the United States. During World War I, the business grew enormously due to large orders from the government. In the succeeding years, growth was achieved with the purchased of cheese companies in Canada and Australia as well as building plants in European markets. The company also became one of the largest advertisers in print and later on radio. In the 1930s, Kraft Foods diversified into other processed foods such as salad dressing, macaroni, and margarine.
