Yunakin is the Ramaytush word for village. It is used here to convey our commonality as a community of people who live and work together in the ancestral homeland of the Ramaytush Ohlone peoples.
Land & Wholeness
Spanish and Mexican colonization resulted in the removal of our ancestors from their lands to the Franciscan missions where approximately 75% met with an untimely death. After the secularization of the missions, the few remaining Ramaytush Ohlone were displaced from the San Francisco Peninsula and scattered across the State where they remained in poverty for decades.
At present the Ramaytush Ohlone people do not hold any land in our traditional territory. Because the cultural and spiritual practices that define us as a people require our direct interaction with the lands of our ancestors, we will not be whole as a people until we return to our ancestral homeland. Please help us become whole for the first time in over 250 years by supporting our land rematriation and cultural revitalization efforts.
