What a wonderful Spirit in this child! Always do your own research to find the truth!

This video was put together by a third grader who wanted to know about how the mission system affected the lives of the Ohlone. Sitting in the library doing the research, the two of us were quite dismayed. I'm not sure I would have considered this material appropriate for an 8 year-old's school report, but I didn't realize that he was actually researching the demise of a vibrant culture until we were well into it. The other children made medicine pouches and village scenes.

Thank you for posting this comment, my son who wrote this report will really appreciate it.

This is a very good report, but note, some Ohlone people managed to escape the mission system. We are still here and continue to live throughout the Bay Area and beyond.
