Before the gold rush and silicon booms

Before the bridges and spires

Before the panthers and angels

Before the hippies and hyphy

Before the vineyards and slow food

Before the jazz bars and punk clubs

Before the missionaries and gentrifiers

There was a people and culture

A history of connection to creation

Dance houses, tule boats, and shell mounds

A Costanoan cosmos of sacred souls
