Fortunately, some did survive and prosper. And they are sharing their history and some of the indian experience over the Web. You can see film clips, photographs, hear a hunting song, or read their stories on the following sites.

One tribe of the Ohlone who call themselves The Essalen Nation have posted their own history site.

The name "Esselen", the historic self-identification for some of the rancherias, derives from Ex'seien, which means "The Rock". It specifically comes from the declaration: "Xue elo xonia eune" ("I come from the rock").
