The Yelamu are a local tribe of Ohlone people from the San Francisco Bay Area in Northern California.
Randall Milliken's study, "A Time of Little Choice: The Disintegration of Tribal Culture in the San Francisco Bay Area 1769-1810",[1] estimates that 160 to 300 Yelamu were living in San Francisco when the Spanish established Mission San Francisco de Asís on June 30, 1776.
Artifacts have been found across San Francisco from at least 50 different locations during modern construction activities within the city that were originally left by family groups that moved seasonally between villages around present day San Francisco.
According to anthropologists the Yelamu people and their Ohlone neighbors arrived in the San Francisco area between 4,000–6,000 years ago.
The largest of the three San Francisco groups had its winter village at Tubsinthe, near Candlestick Point and its summer home at Amuctac in Visitacion Valley.
