Spent a couple of days exploring and appreciating the traditional lands of the Rumsen Ohlone (now Asilomar State Beach). As much as my daughters and son enjoyed the sand, rocks, and water, I want them to be aware of the importance of preserving the culture of the original people. 
A little closer to home here in San Ramon is @makamham: "We are an Ohlone cultural institution empowering our community with tradition—and we teach the public, through taste, of our unbroken roots." It's a really awesome initiative by members of the Chochenyo and Rumsen Ohlone.
I was born and raised just a bit down the mountain from Cherokee, North Carolina, and was fortunate to spend time with our Cherokee friends in the Qualla Boundary, learning from experience just how important cultural preservation is and how we can't accept its loss.
Fast forward a few decades and I still feel that same sense of urgency and reverence here in the Bay area. That I can continue to support is a must for me. I'm teaching my kids to do so as well. Lastly, I can't wait to eat at Cafe Ohlone: makamham.com/cafeohlone
