The Presidio of San Francisco is not just a remarkable landmark; it is our ancestral homeland, filled with historical, cultural, and spiritual significance for the Muwekma Ohlone Tribe. We invite you to join our fight to return this land to its rightful stewards through our #Landback initiative.

Why #Landback?

The #Landback movement strives to acknowledge and rectify historical injustices faced by Indigenous communities. It seeks to restore not only the land but also the inherent rights of Indigenous peoples to govern and steward their traditional territories. Our proposal to return the Presidio to the Muwekma Ohlone Tribe is an essential step in promoting self-determination, healing, and cultural revitalization.

Key Objectives of Our Proposal
  • Acknowledge Injustice: Recognize the historical injustices faced by the Muwekma Ohlone people and foster reconciliation.

  • Establish an Indian Reservation: Proclaim the Presidio as an official Indian Reservation for the Muwekma Ohlone Tribe.
  • Cultural Renaissance: Elevate the Presidio as a global destination that reflects Ohlone culture and traditions, promoting tourism that honors our heritage.
Our Heritage at the Presidio

Before European contact, the Muwekma Ohlone people thrived in the San Francisco Bay area, including the lands of the Presidio. Our history is marked by moments of resilience against forced assimilation and violence after colonization. Despite these challenges, we have retained our cultural identity and connection to the land, as evidenced by recent genetic studies linking our core lineages to ancestral burial sites.
