A Tree is a Critter If You Love It
"The wall is silence,
the grass is sleep,
Tall trees of peace
their vigil keep,
And the Fairy of Dreams
with moth-wings furled
Plays soft on her flute
to the drowsy world."

Coast Miwok People
Lived at Olompali for
5,000 years or more
in homes such as these.
Chief Camilo Ynitia was
a popular host, socializing
with the Spanish gentry
at his adobe home,
Rancho Olompali.
Mr. Ynitia subsequently
received the only
patented grant from the
U.S. government to a Northern
California Native American,
retaining control of the site.
Substantial numbers
of Coast Miwok people
continued here till his
death in 1856 scattered
the community.
The property changed hands.
In the 1960's
the Grateful Dead spent
time here, even giving
several free concerts
at Olompali.
Olompali
State Historic Park
is nestled into
The Mount Burdell
Open Space Preserve
[Marin County Parks]
This week, I walked there.
I saw the dancing circle,
the plants they used
and homes such as
they lived in.
Hawks and vultures
wheeled above.
I even saw a
wild turkey!

Coast Miwok people
have attained recognition
by the US Gov:
"A Restored Tribe Serving
Marin and Sonoma Counties
The Graton Rancheria community
is a federation of Coast Miwok and
Southern Pomo groups recognized
as a tribe by the US Congress."
