Ohlone Question

Hi Aleventh I liked your Ohlone additions to the article. I wonder if you can cite & verify the below parts of the article? They are not in any of my sources. Also I've asked the same thing on the article talk page: Etymology - "Indian Service reports and correspondences": correspondance might be "original research" (if not cited in a public source)? "The tribal term Ohlone during the 1960s was exclusively used in reference to the Mission San Jose/Verona Band of Alameda County Indians" -source for that? Thanks in advance !

Hi Goldenrowley,

Sorry for the delay, I did not know that you inquired about the sources supporting the statement that "The tribal term Ohlone during the 1960s was exclusively used in reference to the Mission San Jose/Verona Band of Alameda County Indians" If it is not too late the sources include the approved 1928-32 and 1968-1971 BIA enrollment applications. There were three historic and previously federally recognized Costanoan tribes that still spoke their respective languages until the 1930's (Field Notes of John Peabody Harrington; Record Group 75 California, Kelsey Special Indian Agent listed the three historic tribal communities under his (BIA) federal jurisdiction (1905-06 Special Indian Census, 1910, 1913 Maps): The Verona Band of Alameda County, the San Juan Bautista Band and the Monterey Band of Monterey County. Only the Verona Band/Mission San Jose/Muwekma enrollees used the ethnonym Ohlone during the 1st and 3rd BIA enrollment periods. The other two tribes never heard of the term. On the death records of the Muwekma 1900-1925 all of the Muwekma were sent back to Mission San Jose to be buried at the Ohlone Cemetery, Indian Cemetery or Mission San Jose cemetery. On May 24, 1996 the Muwekma obtained a formal determination from the BIA of previous unambiguous Federal recognition as the historic Verona Band of Alameda County and that they were never terminated by any act of Congress.
