The Confederated Villages of Lisjan is an unrecognized tribe in California.
The Confederated Villages of Lisjan is one of many Ohlone tribes, each with
its own geography and history. Our tribes, cultures and languages are as diverse
as the ecosystems we live within. When the Spanish invaded in the late 1700s, in
their ignorance they called us Costanoan, people of the coast. In the 1960s and
70s, inspired by the Black Power and American Indian Movements, we organized and
renamed ourselves Ohlone. But there are 8 different bands of Ohlone people, with
connected but different territories and languages. The Lisjan speak the language
Chochenyo. The Lisjan are made up of the seven Tribes that were directly
enslaved at Mission San Jose in Fremont, CA and Mission Dolores in San
Francisco, CA: Lisjan (Ohlone), Karkin (Ohlone), Bay Miwok, Plains Miwok, Wappo,
Delta Yokut and Napian (Patwin). Our territory includes 5 Bay Area counties;
Alameda, Contra Costa, Solano, Napa and San Joaquin.
