Ohlone Shellmounds: Sacred Burial Sites Demolished for Development
For thousands of years, over 40 Native American groups inhabited the greater Bay Area of California. These groups were collectively known as the Ohlone, and their villages were often marked by shellmounds, structures constructed over thousands of years out of clam, mussel, and oyster shells. These sites served as cemeteries and ceremonial grounds. In the 1800s and 1900s, nearly all of the 425 identified shellmounds were demolished for construction. Today, groups such as the Sogorea Te’ Land Trust are working tirelessly to raise awareness about the shellmounds and to bring justice to their ancestors.
