Information

Part of the memorialization of the Emeryville shellmound includes facilitating the growth of native flora along Temescal Creek. You can see native oaks growing in this area. The Ohlone people used every part of the oak tree, from the acorns for food to the wood tannins for dye. Some anthropologists estimate that 75% of native Californians incorporated acorns into their diet.
