Ohlone Field TripAll the third graders went on a field trip to the Redwood Grove in Los Altos to learn more about the Ohlone people who once lived in this area. Our tour guide, Keith Gutierrez, gave us a lot of information about Ohlone Indians: how they lived and how they used different sources from nature. Following are the pictures and notes from our trip, click on them to see the large version. |
