title: Ohlone Shellmound Walk of Remembrance
description: >-
A California Native Ohlone practice of walking to and gathering at
shellmound sites — sacred burial and village sites — to remember the
ancestors and affirm ongoing presence. Many shellmounds in the Bay Area
have been built over; the walk reclaims relationship with the land.

steps:
- headline: Gather at a starting point
description: >-
Ohlone community members and allies gather at a starting point, often
a site where a shellmound once stood or has been built over. An elder
opens with prayer.
- headline: Walk to the shellmound
description: >-
The group walks together to the shellmound site, in silence or with
prayer, marking the land with their presence and movement.
- headline: Gather and remember
description: >-
At the shellmound, the group gathers. Speakers share the history of
the site, the ancestors buried there, and the ongoing Ohlone
presence that has not been erased.
- headline: Offer prayer and song
description: >-
The group offers prayer and song to the ancestors and the land. The
offering is made as relationship, not performance.
- headline: Commit to protection
description: >-
The gathering closes with a commitment to protect the site and the
Ohlone's ongoing relationship to it, often with specific actions
named.
outcome: >-
A shellmound site is remembered and honoured; Ohlone presence is
affirmed; commitments to protection are made.
practice: >-
The walk is not symbolic tourism. It is reclamation of relationship. If
you are not Ohlone, follow Ohlone lead and do not centre yourself.
