It currently stands in the northeast side of the Pioneer Monument.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Early Days,” a bronze statue that depicts a \u003cem>vaquero\u003c/em> and a Catholic missionary imposed upon a Native American, was originally designed by sculptor Frank Happersberger as a posthumous gift from city tycoon James Lick. It was completed in 1897.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since its installation, the Native community in San Francisco has critiqued the statue for its anachronistic, troubling portrayal of the Ohlone people — the Native tribe indigenous to San Francisco and the larger Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1991, activists demanded the removal of the statue, which was set to be shifted to open up space for a renovated Main Library building.

The ruling’s outcome is still uncertain, but it could mean that voters could pass a local tax measure with a simple majority of votes, rather than two-thirds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In San Francisco, City Attorney Dennis Herrera is responsible for interpreting the decision. He has yet to make a public statement on the subject, but arts advocates are fired up about the possibility that a future ballot initiative could pass more easily.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reaching 50 percent next time “seems like it’s very doable,” says Vinay Patel, executive director of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.apiculturalcenter.org/\">Asian Pacific Islander Cultural Center\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Patel says the first step of a new ballot proposition campaign is to find out if the arts community is ready to mobilize again.

The ruling’s outcome is still uncertain, but it could mean that voters could pass a local tax measure with a simple majority of votes, rather than two-thirds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In San Francisco, City Attorney Dennis Herrera is responsible for interpreting the decision. He has yet to make a public statement on the subject, but arts advocates are fired up about the possibility that a future ballot initiative could pass more easily.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reaching 50 percent next time “seems like it’s very doable,” says Vinay Patel, executive director of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.apiculturalcenter.org/\">Asian Pacific Islander Cultural Center\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Patel says the first step of a new ballot proposition campaign is to find out if the arts community is ready to mobilize again.
