The Muwekma Ohlone are a Native American tribe located in the San Francisco Bay Area of California. They are descendants of the original Ohlone people, who inhabited the region for thousands of years before European contact. The tribe has worked to preserve their cultural heritage and language, which is part of the larger Ohlone language family. In recent years, the Muwekma have sought federal recognition to restore their status as a sovereign tribe. This recognition would help them access resources for cultural preservation, education, and community development, allowing them to revitalize their traditions and strengthen their identity.
