East Bay Huichin Tour

East Bay Huichin Tour    Still here

 

Currently The Huichin Tribe is trying to save the West Berkeley Shellmound. https://shellmound.org

No Hiking involved! Walk right in to all five sites in 2 to 3 hours.

Alvarado Area – Wildcat Canyon Park – Richmond

Walk right in

Look behind this gazebo

These “cupule” rocks are associated with fertility rites and astronomical observations. They are not meaningless. We just don’t know the meaning.

 

Nice to see increasing recognition of the 10,000 year history of this civilization

Mira Vista Park – Richmond

 

Right next to the creek

 

 

Canyon Trail Park Berkeley

 

 

Some beautiful deep mortars here

 

And many cupules

 

 

Albany Hill Albany

Creekside Park

Jump the creek right here

 

 

You can’t miss it

 

 

 

Indian Rock Berkeley

Actually the mortars are right up the street from Indian Rock

 

A very cool spot, right next to today’s homes. There may be 100 mortar sites in the Berkeley Hills. The natives somehow lived together with the Grizzly Bears, Mountain Lions, and Rattlesnakes.

 

A very cool spot to bring the kids

 

Indian Rock itself offers fantastic bay views. A popular destination.
