#TBT: Meet Some of Our OG Bay Area Natives, the Ohlone

By

San Francisco once belonged to the Yelamu.

It's Thanksgiving, and in addition to finding gratitude for all that we have, we also wanted to give a nod to the natives and history of our home. Before the summer of love and the gold rush, what is now the Bay Area was Ohlone (also referred to as Costanoan) land. Take a step into their culture.


Ohlone Food

The Ohlone diet included acorns, berries, fish, ducks, geese, flowers, deer, rodents, rabbits, wild grapes, mussels, abalone, eel, wild onion, wild carrot, grizzly bears, racoons, quail, and more.
