Ohlone Indians of California
Chitactac Adams Park (Mutson Ohlone Indian Site)
This is the creek that runs through the site. It was a Mutsun Ohlones village inhabited for over 3000 years.
There were vendors, and different learning stations set up all over the park. The public was invited to attend and learn a little bit about the Ohlone people and their ways of life. I met the tribal chairman and we had a long discussion about their trying to get federal recognition for the tribe. I presented him with the letter of introduction from the Gwichin and a bag of tobacco from Larry Running Turtle. I enjoyed the day in discussion with many there that afternoon.
The last picture was of stone mortars that were used to grind acorns, corn and other grains.

Bob outta all the pictures you posted so far I’d have to say I like the creek picture the best what a sight.ppsstt I wonder if there’s any fish in there ?
Good pictures, Bob. Very interesting.
It looks like a great day. Cool that you have a letter of introduction from the other tribe! Easier than having to keep explaining that you do know a thing or two about the indian heritage.
I liked seeing your lodge on the pictures of the bird center! I hope the eagle has appriciated it as well
What a bird!
