Vincent Medina (East Bay Ohlone) and Louis Trevino (Rumsen Ohlone) are focused on sustaining traditional Ohlone culture. As leaders in the ongoing restoration of their languages, they are proud of their Indigenous identities: As they work together, they empower their community with greater access to our specific cultural traditions, made possible by our elders’ leadership.

Deepen your understanding and relationship with the Ohlone land you stand on. Read recommended resources to learn about the land with an Indigenous context, from Cafe Ohlone founders, Louis Trevino and Vincent Medina.
