Beginning with the ethnogenesis of California Indians, it recounts the centrality of the Native presence from before European colonization through statehood…and in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries.“ The Ohlone: Past and Present, Native Americans of the San Francisco Bay Region, 1994; Ed by Lowell Bean, Phd. First book of its kind. From the Ohlone Scholars Conference (1992). “...remedies a long -standing wrong, the neglect of the Indians of the San Francisco Bay Area in the published anthropological literature, and especially the all-too-common statement in that literature to the effect that the Ohlone (or Costanoans) have long been extinct. Here we have the living descendants of the people found here by the Spanish missionaries and explorers in the 1770s telling us how very much present they are in the 1990s.”
