The Esselen Indians, native to California's central coast, traditionally engaged in various subsistence activities, including hunting, fishing, and gathering wild plants. They primarily relied on acorns, which were a staple food source, as well as marine resources from the nearby ocean. The tribe also practiced tool-making and basket-weaving, showcasing their craftsmanship and cultural heritage. With the arrival of European settlers, many of their traditional practices were disrupted, leading to significant changes in their way of life.

What Indian tribe lived at mission carmel?

The Rumsen Tribe was the majority of the Indians at Carmel.Carmel was built on Rumsen Land! Although some Esselen were at Carmel by the late 1790s they were near extinct. In fact the last Esselen speaker was a Rumsen Indian that spoke Rumsen, Esselen and Spanish. Carmel Mission was built on Rumsen Indian Land and was near their village of Tucutnut.The Spaniards called all Indians that lived on the coast Costanoans. The name Ohlone comes from a small tribal village named "Ohlon" near where Standford University is located today.Many tribes did not want to be called Costanoans so they used OHLONE as part of their name; especially after Ohlone College was built.In truth Costanoan and Ohlone are names made up to show a unity or similarity of Bay Area Tribes.
