Ohlone people, also known as the Costanoan, are a Native American people of the central and northern California coast. When Spanish explorers and missionaries arrived in the late 18th century, the Ohlone inhabited the area along the coast from San Francisco Bay through Monterey Bay to the lower Salinas Valley. At that time they spoke a variety of languages, the Ohlone languages, belonging to the Costanoan sub-family of the Utian language family, which itself belongs to the proposed Penutian language phylum. The term "Ohlone" has been used in place of "Costanoan" since the 1970s by some descendant groups and by most ethnographers, historians, and writers of popular literature. In pre-colonial times, the Ohlone lived in more than 50distinct landholding groups, and did not view themselves as a distinct group. They lived by hunting, fishing, and gathering, in the typical ethnographic California pattern. The members of these various bands interacted freely with one another as they built friendships and marriages, traded tools and other necessities, and partook in cultural practices. The Ohlone people practiced the Kuksu religion. Before the Gold Rush, the northern California region was one of the most densely populated regions north of Mexico. However, in the years 1769 to 1833, the Spanish missions in California had an effect on Ohlone culture. The Ohlone population declined steeply during this period.

Members of the MuwekmaOhlone tribe, whose ancestral homelands are in the Bay Area including Stanford’s campus, said they were met with what they described as “violent and physical” police in Washington, D.C.
Accusing Bay Area leaders of obstructing its efforts to gain federal recognition, the MuwekmaOhlone tribe is lashing out at San Jose officials for continuing to delay a decision on whether to support the group’s endeavor.
The Butte College volleyball team lost a back-and-forth five-set match to Ohlone at Butte College, falling 16-25, 25-23, 25-23, 23-25, 15-7 ... Ohlone opened the fifth set with an early lead and held on for the victory.
As the MuwekmaOhlone tribe pushes for federal recognition with a cross-country horseback trek, its grassroots campaign appears to have gained the sympathy of the San Jose City Council, with several members proposing a resolution of support.
The cross-country ride is aimed at spurring lawmakers to recognize the MuwekmaOhlone as a legitimate tribe — a move that would bestow its 614 members powers of sovereign self-government, access to financial benefits and other federal protections.
