Geocache Description:


I'd like to acknowledge this land as Ohlone land.

This cache allows you to contemplate some of Emeryville's Native American history.  Check out the granite and glass history markers along side the creek behind the recreated Shellmound.   Wikkipedia has this overview:  "The Emeryville Shellmound, in Emeryville, California, is a sacred burial site of the Ohlone people, a once-massive archaeological shell midden deposit (dark, highly organic soil, temple and burial ground containing a high concentration of human food waste remains, including shellfish). It was one of a complex of five or six mounds along the mouth of the perennial Temescal Creek, on the east shore of San Francisco Bay between Oakland and Berkeley. It was the largest of the over 425 shellmounds that surrounded San Francisco Bay.  Here's a link on more:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emeryville_Shellmound
