Tamien People
The Tamien people (also spelled Tamyen or Thamien) are one of eight linguistic divisions of the Ohlone people; groups of Native Americans who live in Northern California. The Tamien traditionally lived throughout the Santa Clara Valley. The use of the name Tamien is on record as early as 1777; it comes from the Ohlone name for the location of the first Mission Santa Clara (Mission Santa Clara de Thamien) on the Guadalupe River. Father Pena mentioned in a letter to Junipero Serra that the area around the mission was called ''Thamien'' by the native people. The missionary fathers erected the mission on January 17, 1777, at the native village of So-co-is-u-ka. Language Traditionally, the Tamien people spoke the Tamyen language, a Northern Ohlone language, which ceased to be spoken since possibly the early 19th century. "Tamyen", also called ''Santa Clara Costanoan'', has been extended to mean the Native people of Santa Clara Valley, as well as the language they spoke. Tamyen i ...

Awaswas
The Awaswas, also known as the Santa Cruz people, were a group of the Indigenous peoples of California in North America, with subgroups historically numbering about 600 to 1,400. Academic research suggests that their ancestors had lived within the Santa Cruz Mountains region for approximately 12,000 years. The Awaswas maintained regular trade networks with regional cultures before the Spanish colonists began settling in the area from the 18th century. The Awaswas people were Ohlone, with linguistic and cultural ties to other Ohlone peoples in the region. "Ohlone" is a modern collective term for the peoples of the region; however, the term was not historically used by the Indigenous populations themselves. They did not consider themselves to be a part of a larger confederacy, but instead functioned independently of one another. For centuries, the Santa Cruz Mountains Indigenous people experienced economic competition and military conflict with a series of colonizing newcomers. Ce ...

Mutsun
Mutsun (also known as San Juan Bautista Costanoan) is a Utian language spoken in Northern California. It was the primary language of a division of the Ohlone people living in the Mission San Juan Bautista area. It initially went extinct in 1930 when the last speaker died, Ascencion Solórzano de Cervantes. The Tamien Nation and band is currently working to restore the use of the language, using a modern alphabet. Studies of the language Maria Ascención Solórsano de Garcia y de Cervantes, the last known fluent speaker of Mutsun, amassed large amounts of language and cultural data specific to the Mutsun. The Spanish Franciscan missionary and linguist Felipe Arroyo de la Cuesta wrote extensively about the language's grammar, and linguist John Peabody Harrington made very extensive notes on the language from Solórsano. Harrington's field notes formed the basis of the grammar of Mutsun written by Marc Okrand Marc Okrand (; born July 3, 1948) is an American linguist. His p ...
