The Ohlone are a group of Native American tribes originally from the central coast of California. They traditionally inhabited areas from the San Francisco Bay to Monterey, living in small, semi-nomadic communities. The Ohlone people relied on the rich natural resources of the region, including fish, game, and edible plants, for their sustenance. Historically, the Ohlone culture was characterized by a deep connection to the land and a rich tradition of storytelling, art, and spirituality. Today, many Ohlone descendants are working to preserve their heritage and culture, while also advocating for recognition and rights within the broader context of California's history.
