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.
