Seasonal Ohlone Travel

A Huichin Ohlone tribelet traveled seasonally up and down Sausal Creek for hunting and gathering—they would hunt deer, fish for trout, and forage many wild edible plants like tarweed and blue elderberry. They cared for their home, practicing controlled burns to prevent larger wildfires. Two known Ohlone villages were located along the watershed. One was located in Indian Gulch along what is now Park Blvd in the Trestle Glen district. The other village was located where Holy Names University currently sits.
