Located at the intersection of Alma and Alamden near downtown San Jose, this stainless steel column sits in a traffic island, visible from a distance down both busy streets.

14 feet tall and 6 feet in diameter, it is made from welded and forged stainless steel. It features native plants from the nearby bay, including Tule and other grasses used by the native peoples for baskets.

It says, "We live here," in English, Spanish and the language of the Native Americans who lived in the area. A simple statement of ownership to speeding commuters, proclaiming the often forgotten residential character of the neighborhood.

Commissioned by the City of San Jose.
