Indigenous Peoples of the Bay Area Part 1: Overview – June 12

Before the Spanish arrived here and before California became a part of the United States, the Bay Area was one of the most densely populated and linguistically diverse areas in North America. This session is a broad overview of historic Indigenous communities in our area based on what we know of archaeological studies and oral histories. Participants will learn a basic framework for understanding the complex and varied native communities of the Peninsula and the South Bay.

Indigenous Peoples of the Bay Area Part 2: Ethnobotany and Land Stewardship – June 19

California ecosystems have evolved with thoughtful active management by diverse human communities over thousands of years. This session will examine some of the interactions Indigenous Peoples of the Bay Area had with our landscape. We will highlight specific plant and animal relationships, as well as stewardship practices using examples from our local landscape. 

 

Indigenous Peoples of the Bay Area Part 3: Economy, Spirituality, and Culture – June 26

This session will focus on interesting aspects of what we know about historic Indigenous culture, society, economy and spirituality. Participants will hear about examples of trade networks that existed, taking products made and collected by Bay Area communities far and wide. They’ll also learn about aspects of village life, spirituality, and sacred relationships with our local landscape. We’ll also share some resources for how you can learn and support contemporary Indigenous communities in our area.
