Title: A real find
Review: A truly beautifully written book about the Native American people who populated the Bay Area, from Monterey to San Francisco. The descriptions of the land they inhabited as recently as 200 years ago makes wonderful reading aloud, and the Ohlone customs and beliefs will fascinate anyone living in the Bay Area. I rather fell upon this book at the SFPL, and can't believe my good fortune that it is available. As a high school librarian in SF, this can be well used by upper elementary through high school students wanting to know about the people and the place that existed long before SF was a settlement,when the area supported some of the densest populations of flora and fauna in America. The illustrations (b&w) will be much used as the basis for a mural on our area's history. They are clear and capture, in their intricacy, so many details that kids will relate to.
