Ann Marie at Golden Gate Park August 21, Saturday day benefitting the International Council of 13 Indigenous grandmothers
Aug , 2010 click to play movie A blast from the past. When this site was launched in 1995, online video was SO new and rarely seen. Videographer Lois Robin filmed Ann Marie creekside in late 1995 and kindly provided me with VHS which I was able to convert to QuickTime. In those days of scarce bandwidth and slow modem conncctions, I had to keep movies small and brief and a videoclip such as this could STILL take 30 to 40 minutes to download over a 28 kbs modem. The work was edited using Avid Videoshop on a Mac Performa. |

In 1997, Russ Imrie interviewed Howard Harris in Hollister. Allan Lundell was there to video it. Howard has since passed on . Howard, his wife Bess, Allan, Sun Marian, Pat and Russ talked for an hour - this is an incredible historical video. Howard was an unimpeachable witness to some true California Indian history history as well as a great civic leader, 4H figure and a part of Indian Canyon... we thank him. 2.9 minutes. More from Howard's hour-long interview on the BIA, BLM, Indian Canyon. 9 minutes. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O7YwQTuqDRU

check out Kanyon Sayers' web work If you are looking for "content", please surf to some other site. We answer our email, we mean what we say. We are people. The webmaster has been on it for 16 years. We have lots of info here, please stay awhile. Costanoan is what the Spanish called the indigenous peoples who inhabited the coastal areas of California from about Carmel north to the Sacramento Delta/Carquinez Strait for almost 10,000 years. Interior to the Mount Diablo area, south along the Mount Hamilton and Gavilan Ranges, the great Santa Clara Valley, and the Santa Cruz Mountains. The Spanish developed missions at San Juan Bautista, San Carlos (Carmel), Santa Cruz, San Jose, Santa Clara and San Francisco using the forced labor of the innocent natives. This was to accomplish two goals. First was to spread Christianity as they saw it to the "heathens". Secondly, global competition amongst European empires was heating up and Spain was staking a claim on California before English, Russian, American and French adventurers could do so. This was the first devastating step in the extraordinarily cruel destruction of California Indian culture in Costanoan Ohlone lands by the Spanish and American empires.

Many YOKUTS people from the Central Valley were taken into the coastal ( Santa Clara, San Jose, Santa Cruz) missions as local, "raw material" ran out.

Thanks To Janeen Antoine for
the 
UCSF Students and Professors visiting Indian Canyon late
in September, 2004. Many, many students and teachers are welcomed to Indian
Canyon on a continuing basis going back over a decade. If your class would
like to visit the canyon please contact us via our email link at the
top of this page. FYI, and to save me from repeating this bit of
cultural information again and again... it is traditional for anyone
meeting a distinguished or elder Native American to make a small
present of tobacco and shaking their hand when meeting them for the
first time. - thanks, Russ
Pick from the "jump menu" below for tobacco and other links, ENTER our main resource at the bottom of this page
