DESCRIPTION:Ohlone Indians and Early Spanish explorations of the San Francisco 
 Peninsula. A presentation by Mark G. Hylkema, State Parks 
 Archaeologist.\n\nIn 1769, the first Spanish land expedition in California 
 inadvertently discovered San Francisco Bay. They encountered numerous 
 tribal communities that lived in a bountiful landscape but could not know 
 that the mosaic of tribal communities had adapted to several major 
 environmental transitions over a period of at least 12,000 years. 
 Archaeological research has found that tribes spread along the San Mateo 
 and Santa Cruz County coast developed an early focus on marine resources, 
 while neighboring tribes of the Santa Clara Valley and San Francisco Bay 
 shore eventually transformed into more complex levels of social 
 organization. By the time the explorers arrived, distinctive tribal 
 boundaries and customs had developed. This discussion will provide an 
 outline of the local prehistory and native lifeways up to the time of 
 European contact. \n\nWe will also review aspects of the Spanish, Mexican 
 and early American periods and reflect on what it was like not too many 
 years ago when grizzly bears and the Ohlone people dwelled here.\n\nMark 
 Hylkema is a State archaeologist with 35 years’ experience in California 
 archaeology and Native American culture. He has interacted with many 
 different tribal communities, particularly in central and northern 
 California and did his graduate research on the archaeology of the San 
 Mateo and Santa Cruz County coast. Mark has directed excavations throughout 
 the greater San Francisco and Monterey Bay area and also teaches 
 Anthropology at Foothill College. Mark has also taught undergraduate and 
 graduate classes at Santa Clara University, University of California at 
 Santa Cruz, De Anza College, Ohlone College and Cabrillo College.\n\nThis 
 free community event is open to the public and is sponsored by the Loma 
 Prieta Community Foundation, a 501(c) 3 not-for-profit volunteer 
 organization.\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2017/03/07/18797138.php
