The watershed of San Francisquito Creek was the territory of the Puichon. Here in the West Campus area, the Puichon hunted tule elk, bear and deer, and collected several hundred species of useful plants. A typical Puichon village held about 200 people who ere related to families in neighboring villages through trade and intermarriage. Fourteen village sites are located within a mile of West Campus, the oldest was inhabited more than 5000 years ago. Today, many Ohlone descendants continue to live in the Bay Area.
