The Confederation of Ohlone People came into being in 2009. We are a cooperative made up of the descendants of Ohlone people, as well as community advocates. Our common mission is to increase the visibility and interests of present day Ohlone. The Ohlone hold a unique place in the history of the Bay Area and the surrounding counties. Supporters understand that the story of the Ohlone is often buried in history books that mostly exclude Ohlone voices, and experiences. The Ohlone cannot change this paradigm alone, so we invite community members to join us as we strive to share our culture, re-educate community and inspire healthy environments that are a necessary part of our shared cultures. Today members of the cooperative are involved in the land acknowledgement movement, cultural revitalization, education, leveraging the arts to create visibility and tell the Ohlone story, providing mediation services, and cultural site preservation.
