The Ramaytush Ohlone Original Peoples of the San Francisco Peninsula
The Ramaytush (pronounced rah-my-toosh) Ohlone are the original peoples of the San Francisco Peninsula. Prior to the arrival of the Spanish, the Ramaytush Ohlone numbered approximately 1,500 to 2,000 persons, but by the end the Mission Period only a few families had survived. Today, only one lineage is know to have produced living descendants in the present. Those descendants comprise the membership of the Ramaytush Tribe and the staff of the Association of Ramaytush Ohlone (non-profit).
