The Mutsun are a Native American tribe originally from the central coast of California. They are part of the larger Ohlone group and traditionally inhabited areas around present-day Santa Cruz and Monterey. The Mutsun people have a rich cultural heritage, including unique languages, traditions, and social structures. Historically, the Mutsun faced significant challenges due to European colonization, which led to a decline in their population and cultural practices. Today, efforts are being made to revitalize the Mutsun language and culture, as well as to gain recognition and support for their community and heritage.
