Indigenous History in the Bay Area, Part 1: Overview - Mark Hylkema and POST

Before the Spanish arrived here and before California became a part of the United States, the Bay Area was one of the most densely populated and linguistically diverse areas in North America. This session provides a broad overview of historic Indigenous communities in our area based on what we know of archaeological studies and oral histories. Participants will learn a basic framework for understanding the complex and varied native communities of the Peninsula and the South Bay.

This is the first session of the three-part webinar series. The other two sessions are available on POST's YouTube channel.

About the Series:
