Ohlone life in the Bay Area before European arrival

Malcolm Margolin’s account focuses on the culture of the Ohlone people who inhabited the San Francisco–Monterey Bay area before Europeans arrived. The revised edition also includes a new preface addressing Ohlone endurance and resurgence, placing the book’s historical subject alongside the people’s continued presence. Together, these elements connect an account of pre-contact Indigenous life with a brief view of its broader legacy.

Book overview

Selected by the San Francisco Chronicle's as one of the top 100 western nonfiction books of the twentieth century.

"Beautifully imagined and written."--Alice Walker

One of the most ground-breaking and highly-acclaimed titles that Heyday has published, The Ohlone Way describes the culture of the Indian people who inhabited Bay Area prior to the arrival of Europeans. With clear and accessible writing that is spirited and at the same time informed, Malcolm Margolin vividly recreates the Ohlones' lost world. From his unique vantage point as a "friend of the family," he updates this classic text with a new preface that tells stories of the Ohlones' continued endurance and resurgence.
