The Verona Band, which was the original native group of the area, is no longer present in the city. Today, the Muwekma Ohlone Tribe has settled in Berkeley and is flourishing within the Bay Area. The university also hosts a thriving campus community of Native Americans. Although the ethnic composition of the city is diverse, it&#8217;s important to remember that there is no single dominant ethnic group in Berkeley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The city&#8217;s climate is Mediterranean-type, with warm, dry summers and cool, wet winters. Because of its location across the Golden Gate, the city experiences more eastward fog than most of its neighbors. This makes the summers in Berkeley cooler than the typical Mediterranean climate, and the coastal winds produce cool nights and mornings. It&#8217;s important to note that the climate of Berkeley is influenced by a variety of factors, and many of the reasons why the region has a unique climate are dependent on where you are located.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite its Mediterranean climate, Berkeley experiences warm summers and cool, wet winters. Its proximity to the Pacific Ocean has influenced the city&#8217;s climate, which makes it particularly prone to fog in the east. The warmest part of the year is the summer, with the temperature in the upper thirties and low fifties, making the weather comfortable and pleasant. It&#8217;s important to note, however, that Berkeley has a temperate climate. Even in summer, the city&#8217;s temperatures are warmer than most of its neighbors, and the mornings and nights are often cooler than other parts of California.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While it&#8217;s not difficult to find cultural events in Berkeley, it&#8217;s best to keep an open mind. The Pacific Film Archive, for instance, is the best place to view the latest films in the Bay Area. For those who prefer classical theater, the Berkeley Repertory Theater is a good choice. The price of tickets is low and the performances are often free. The theater&#8217;s performance schedule is always interesting, and the audience will leave impressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the late 1960s, Berkeley was home to the hippie movement. They spilled from San Francisco and occupied most of the city&#8217;s neighborhoods. While most hippies were apolitical, the Berkeley Sixties scenario saw the intersection between the radical left and hippie movements. It led to a conflict over the city&#8217;s property, which would later become known as the People&#8217;s Park. In this context, the people&#8217;s resistance fueled the riots were the protests against the presence of the government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The city of Berkeley is known for its high quality of life. The city was largely unaffected by the Great Recession, which affected many cities across the country. As a result, the city&#8217;s population grew rapidly. The state budget cuts of 1929 caused an increase in out-of-state and international students. The city of Oakland was home to the largest number of international students in the United States. The development of the new University Park was a major catalyst for the riots of the early 1960s.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The City of Berkeley is located on the ancestral lands of the Chochenyo-speaking Ohlone people.
