Karkin

[edit]

Karkin page is the most stubby of the subgroups. If anyone feels like expanding. Goldenrowley 23:29, 2 April 2007 (UTC) noakfgefgargalr — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.112.209.86 (talk) 19:48, 27 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Nomination

Ok I did a final tidy this week, then nominated it as a good article. Goldenrowley 20:51, 5 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

GA Review

[edit]

This article looks like a GA to me, the references are quite well done, no image problems that I see, it's by and large well written and orderly, and there's only one thing that seems a bit off, "This Spanish encroachment into the region disrupted and undermined the Ohlone social structures and way of life.", unless i'm reading the article wrong, it doesn't seem to demonstrate whhy the Ohlone social structures were undermined, while I surmise the large amounts of death caused by the missions couldn't of helped their culture, the article doesn't seem to demonstrate the cultural decline here much. Also, think about expanding the lead if possible, I don't see any major problems with its scope, but with the number of different sections, it might be possible to expand it a bit better (without going overboard), and it may come up in a PR or FAC, either of which I recommend this article have next. Homestarmy 19:16, 2 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Homestarmy. I speak for several hard workers in thanking you for your review and helpful comments and good article approval! Your comments are very helpful Goldenrowley 20:48, 2 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Decimation

[edit]

Does the use of this word in the opening paragraph refer to reduction by one tenth (as it properly should), or reduction to one tenth, as it often mistakenly does? Since the answer is seldom immediately obvious without tedious and irrelevant explanations, I suggest that this word be avoided.

Paul Magnussen (talk) 19:48, 28 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The word is used in accordance with the meaning decimate 4(b) in the Oxford English Dictionary: "To destroy or remove a large proportion of; to subject to severe loss, slaughter, or mortality." Though, I agree heartily that this word is ambiguous and often misunderstood. Do you have a suggestion for a better word? SaltyBoatr (talk) 20:36, 28 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

GA Sweeps Review: On Hold

[edit]

As part of the WikiProject Good Articles, we're doing sweeps to go over all of the current GAs and see if they still meet the GA criteria. I'm specifically going over all of the "Culture and Society" articles. I believe the article currently meets the majority of the criteria and should remain listed as a Good article. However, in reviewing the article, I have found there are some issues that need to be addressed. I have made minor corrections and have included several points below that need to be addressed for the article to remain a GA. Please address them within seven days and the article will maintain its GA status. If progress is being made and issues are addressed, the article will remain listed as a Good article. Otherwise, it may be delisted. If improved after it has been delisted, it may be nominated at WP:GAN. To keep tabs on your progress so far, either strike through the completed tasks or put checks next to them.

Needs inline citations:

  1. Sources should be added for the claims in the first paragraph of "Population".
  2. "The population after 1900 finally stabilized. There are at least 1,400 on tribal membership rolls by year 2005."

Other issues:

  1. To better summarize the article, the lead needs to be expanded to three or four paragraphs. See WP:LEAD for guidelines.
  2. ""Language group designations are spelled as commonly found in English language publications... however many tribal, village and personal names which are not commonly found in literature present a problem. They were written by Spanish settlers who were trying to capture the sounds of languages foreign to them." Who said this quote? Also, a brief introduction would be beneficial.

This article covers the topic well and if the above issues are addressed, I believe the article can remain a GA. I will leave the article on hold for seven days, but if progress is being made and an extension is needed, one may be given. I will leave messages on the talk pages of the main contributors to the article along with the related WikiProjects so that the workload can be shared. If you have any questions, let me know on my talk page and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. Happy editing! --Nehrams2020 (talk) 05:31, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

GA Sweeps Review: Failed

[edit]

Unfortunately, since the issues I raised were not addressed, I have regrettably delisted the article according to the requirements of the GA criteria. If the issues are fixed, consider renominating the article at WP:GAN. With a little work, it should have no problems getting back up to GA status. If you disagree with this review, you can seek an alternate opinion at Good article reassessment. If you have any questions let me know on my talk page and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. I have updated the article history to reflect this review. Happy editing! --Nehrams2020 (talk) 05:53, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Nehrams I did see and want to address your GA concerns I have just been very distracted lately with personal matters. The only issue that may need some thought and writing is expanding the introduction (if the editors agree that's important. I do not really see long introductions as serving much purpose so have difaculty adding to the intro if that's my belief). Thank you. Goldenrowley (talk) 01:23, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I have decided to enter the page for a RE-assessment. I do not think a longer introduction is in the interest of the article, its a long enough article as it stands. The only other item was minor considering all the citations already here one sentence is ^two sentences are^ not cited. ^Everything was cited to cut down on footnotes everywhere, we put most footnotes at the end of each paragraph about the entire paragraphs.^ Goldenrowley (talk) 04:33, 24 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Introduction Rewrite

[edit]

Notes on rewrite of introduction, and if it should occur. meatclerk (talk) 19:34, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • It might be noted early on how the source came about. For instance, we do not note that many early records come from travel journals and personal diaries. We do mention archǣlogy directly, but that seems to be the case. Do quote some sources directly, but in many places its not clear to the casual reader who the person is. For example:
    • (Culture, para 4)In fact, there were so many sea lions that to Crespi it "looked like a pavement" to the incoming Spanish

--

  • The opening section is missing historical references past 1833. The material exists below.
  • (Culture, para 1) some internecine conflict. Where does this come from?
  • (Culture, para 2) grass seeds and berries, while other vegetation, hunted and trapped This part makes no sense to me.
  • Missing in (Culture, para 6) is that men would cover themselves in mud on cold days.
  • Technical Error Junípero Serra died in 1784, so he could not help build all the mission. In fact, Father Lassen helped build the bulk of all the missions. At present, I cannot find a refernce for him, but will later.

-- meatclerk (talk) 17:34, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • The transisition of administration is discussed perpherially. That is the societal rule, from native rule, to Spanish rule, to Mexican, to Bear Flag, to USA, should be outlined better.
  • Somehow, it was cutout the answer to the question as to: why something are ambiguous. IN DEED, this is why we should discusss (if shortly) the sources.

-- meatclerk (talk) 22:37, 19 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

These are great observations thanks for taking time to look for elements to improve. Goldenrowley (talk) 16:17, 22 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Marin County Ohlones

[edit]

What about the thousand-some "Californian Indian" residents living in the Point Reyes area, Marin County, California north of San Francisco? For many decades, the self-claimed Marin County Ohlones fought for state and federal recognition of themselves are descendants of the Ohlones (Karkins) and other North Coast Indians survived the Spanish colonial period of the 18th-early 19th centuries. I found no mention of the Marin County Ohlone in the article, but Marin County was thought to been visited by Ohlones from their historic range in present day San Mateo and Contra Costa-Alameda counties. +71.102.2.206 (talk) 05:12, 16 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Are you sure you're not thinking of the Coast Miwok?I've never heard of Ohlones in Marin but I beleive the Miwok are related linguistically. Goldenrowley (talk) 05:33, 16 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
On second thought It's entirely possible a tribe of Karkin went to Marin and were at the Mission. If you have sources please provide sources. Goldenrowley (talk) 05:36, 16 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Can I Remove Frank Stanger as Source for Pre-Hispanic Times?

[edit]

Dear Editors of Ohlone article: I tried to improve the History section on the fly last night and tonight, then gummed it up, including accidentally trampling inside the quotation marks on a Frank Stanger quote. (Don't know what got into me.) But I just undid all those changes I made. It is back to pre-Middle Fork. But I think the section is a mess. Frank Stanger, as a historian, is an inappropriate person to cite on SF Bay prehistory; besides that he got part of it wrong, even for 1968, if he said shell mounds date to 4000 BC (I don't have his article).

Can I get support for changing the sources for Early-Middle-Late Horizons to Beardsley 1948, Elsasser 1978, and Moratto 1984? Alternatively, I will leave Stanger in as "one alternative view" but I have no idea where he got that date, unless it was from Gifford's 1916 "shell mound volume" article that is useful only for the history of archaeological inquiry.Middle Fork (talk) 05:41, 16 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know them but am not a historian. I would support adding alternative, expert views on dating. We once went over what books we thought were reputable, you can check the archives of this talk page to see if we discussed Stanger... I think we did. I suggest (as you are new) you use your sandbox to for paragraph drafts first, to avoid "accidental trampling" as you call it ("Middle fork/sandbox") Goldenrowley (talk) 07:26, 16 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Starting to Expand and Restructure Introduction

[edit]

To Dedicated Ohlone Page Editors. I have today made some important changes in the introduction to the article. I believe they are factually correct, but I have not inserted citations yet. I have so many citations that I do not know where to start, especially given that I will later add them in places below the introduction. One of my important changes is imbedded in the new text, that "Costanoan" is still considered the preferred alternative to "Ohlone" by most linguists. The other, the removal of "Muwekma" as an alternative to Costanoan or Ohlone, is not explained in its absence. Please be assured that the Muwekma Ohlone themselves would never contend that "Muwekma" is applied to any larger group than the combined "Ramaytush, Tamyen, Chochenyo" of the San Francisco Bay Area. None of the Rumsen or Mutsun descendents are, or consider themselves to be, Muwekma. And also, some Mutsun and Rumsen descendents currently bitterly dislike the cover-term Ohlone, instead proudly call themselves Costanoan Indians. In coming weeks, I will be adding citations and text in all other areas of this article, and hope that other editors will look up the citations before you revert me. By the end of the year, I think you will agree that my additions will strengthen the article and help achieve the certification from Wikipedia for which Goldenrowley has applied.Middle Fork (talk) 16:40, 24 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Middle fork. I appreciate help with the intro and (by the way) I think it qualifies as "good article" already, for a long time, and hope that status is given back to the article now that I've fixed most of the things that delisted it. Several comments to you: Muwekma is used by the Muwekma tribe website and it's a gained popular usage (as opposed to Linguist's usage), so can you reinsert them in the intro, in that respect? Perhaps it just needs to clarify they're the modern name for the North Bay subgroup. Onto the next matter, you wondered where to put new citations. Look at this page's citation style -- the editors decided to put the footnotes for each paragraph mostly at the end of each paragraph (on anything in the paragraph) although for "good article" status I embedded a few citations last night to backup some numbers, and I do beleive it's a good idea to embed them when it's a "hot button" like population.Goldenrowley (talk) 22:03, 24 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, Goldenrowley. I am glad you accepted most of my changes. Note that copy-editor Maleus (sp?) really went through it and made some text much more straightforward. I also have read some of your earlier discussion, and know that you guys have really struggled with the term Muwekma. But I really do not believe it is appropriate in an introductory discussion on the overall language group name. If you start talking about Muwekma as a language name in the introduction, something Jack Forbes proposed, then you are almost obliged to discuss its different use as a modern cultural/political group name right there in the introduction, and that brings up the word Amah, which is in the same tradition. I have added a new footnote in the Language section which discusses the introduction of the word Muwekma in the Forbes classification, and its subsequent rejection. Do what you want, including revert. I will live with it. Gotta go focus elsewhere for awhile.Middle Fork (talk) 15:38, 25 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I like how you expanded the intro. I like how you mentioned Muwekma a little lower down in the intro with a good desctiption. I also like the stylistic edits by Malleus Fatuorum, who caught some grammatical and typographical things. Thanks to both. Goldenrowley (talk) 22:07, 25 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Here is a problem statement about how Ohlone group names are spelled

[edit]

Editors. I have just removed a sentence that was sitting at the end of the list of Ohlone divisions because the statement, a quote, does not exactly address the problem that it intends to address. Here it is. "According to Milliken, "Language group designations are spelled as commonly found in English language publications... however many tribal, village and personal names which are not commonly found in literature present a problem. They were written by Spanish settlers who were trying to capture the sounds of languages foreign to them."[1]" This was originally written by Milliken to explain how "he" was going to spell the names of the divisions. But as it was being used here in Wikipedia, it seems to be trying to explain how "anyone" came to spell the names. And amazingly enough, the problem is resolved by referring to "English language publications." Does that not seem circular to you? Anyway, I say we do not even address the issue, just leave this quote out of the article.Middle Fork (talk) 18:12, 3 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

However, I liked the quote, it explains a lot (I think) of how our understanding of the native vocabulary came to be, and shaded and developed through a Spanish vocabulary and what sounds they'd hear versus not hear... would it make sense to let the quote stay in, without trying to prove anything before or after it? Goldenrowley (talk) 20:45, 3 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
The quote just does not pertain to exactly the situation you are trying to explain. I am substituting in with: "The above division designations, mostly derived from selected local tribe names found in mission records, were first offered in 1974 by Heizer (citing Richard Levy) as direct substitutes for Kroeber’s earlier designations based upon the names of local Spanish missions. The spellings are anglized forms of group names that were were first written down by Spanish missionaries and soldiers who were trying to capture the sounds of languages foreign to them. (cite Heizer 1974:3, Milliken 1995:xiv)" Fix or remove as you wish, since it is something you are trying to communicate. The whole thing is a nightmare. Most of the names Heizer (actually Levy) introduced were local tribe names that they elevated to represent a division (Chalon, Rumsen, Mutsun, Tamyen, Karkin), thus globalizing the local tribe in question to include other local tribes within the given mission catchment. The other three had their own unique histories: Chochenyo=slang for José-eño, Ramaytush=obscure Chochenyo reference for SF Peninsula and its people (courtesy of unpublished Harrington notes), Awaswas="northerners" in most of the Costanoan languages. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Middle Fork (talkcontribs) 21:29, 3 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I am fine with the new info you used to replace it with. Goldenrowley (talk) 01:07, 4 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sophisticated Non-Food Uses of Plants

[edit]

To All Editors and Commentators. I have taken the liberty to move a sentence that was just added to the culture section here for purposes of its contemplation. The sentence was just added by editor Plumpurple (glad to know you), hard upon the existing material on plant use:

The Ohlone also practiced sophisticed use of plant extracts for non-food use; for example, tribes extracted a substance from the Coastal woodfern Dryopteris arguta that they used as a hair shampoo.

My number one problem is the lack of citation for this statement (which Plumpurple can probably quickly fix.) My number two problem is, "What is this special interest in wood fern?" The paragraph on plant use is currently nicely presented without enumerating the scores of plant uses documented for central California Indians. Adding it in opens up criticism as to why soapplant, for instance, was not mentioned, or why the three species used to make bowstrings have not been listed here. Does Wikipedia have a page for "Native Plant Uses in California?" Perhaps a link could be made to such a page, or perhaps someone could start such a page.Middle Fork (talk) 03:51, 8 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Well, i am somewhat open as to the best way to proceed. i can add the citation for shampoo use, but you have raised some important fundamental questions. yes, we certainly should have other (non food) plant use examples, which i shall add as i find them. yes we should have an article on Native plant uses in California, but that page would be enormous. it seems like in the best spirit of a wiki we should accumulate breadth on native plant use within each tribe article, until we have enough information in each such specific article. this is clearly an area where wikipedia lacks depth. what do you think? Plumpurple (talk) 04:25, 8 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • You and I agree that a good encyclopedia would give information about plant uses of Native Americans. But an encyclopedia must also consider space, even an ever-expanding Wikipedia. We already have an administrator complaint that the Ohlone article is getting pretty long. But there is another problem. Most plant use enumerations for the Ohlone found in secondary sources are actually extrapolations from studies of Pomo and Sierra Miwok plant uses. The "specifics" of contact-period Ohlone culture, including plant use, are poorly documented (see Harrington's 1942 "Central California Coast" CED study in Anthropological Records vol. 7). Most specific Ohlone plant-use information comes from Mutsun decendant Ascencion Solarsano in the 1930s, 130 years after her people had become Mission Indians. Thus, any long list of Ohlone plant use would merely be an educated projection of information from surrounding areas. For such a detailed presentation of contact-period California Indian plant uses, I think we would be better off to have a dedicated article on the entire California Culture Area. I do not know how to start a "stub" for such an article, but contributor Goldenrowley does. Maybe Goldenrowley can help out here.Middle Fork (talk) 15:13, 8 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I like the idea of non-food plants but gave my Ohlone books back to the library last year. To start a new stub I will leave it to one of you as the one who wants it most should do it :-) to get the credit and/or the comments. First check there is no article already at the California state level. type in the name of the desired article into the "search" field at left. Wikipedia will send you a message the article does not exist yet and ask if you want to create one. Chose "yes" and you'll be into edit mode with an entirely blank page. Goldenrowley (talk) 00:41, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Also I think its fine to add non-food use plants to the Culture section of Native American Articles as long as its important: i.e. using the local vegetation to build rafts seems much more important than shampoo, and shampoo is minor compared to staple foods for survival.Goldenrowley (talk) 01:46, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Population notes

[edit]

The population section includes this text: "Later researchers such as Richard Levy estimated "10,000 or more" Ohlone." The source in the reference section: (Margolin, Malcolm. The Ohlone Way: Indian Life in the San Francisco-Monterey Bay Area) also reads "Over 10,000 people lived in the coastal area between Point Sur and the San Francisco Bay.", and further says, "Before the coming of the Spaniards, Central California had the densest Indian population anywhere north of Mexico." That sounds like an interesting claim, are there any other sources that support this? Should this note be added to the population section? Kaitymh (talk) 23:56, 21 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

 Done

Population

Removed dubious claims about Chechenyo and Emeryville Shellmound

[edit]

I removed the following uncited, POV, and dubious claims:

The Emeryville Shellmound is known to be the capital of the Chechenyan people. The Chechenyans are a division of the Ohlone people and are known to be the most advanced.

To begin with, the Ohlone/Costanoan peoples were never centralized polities with any kind of "capital", but simply loose villages with no authority beyond the village level, only a loose tribal identity related to what dialect of Ohlone the group spoke. How the Chechenyans were the most "advanced" of the Ohlone peoples is neither stated nor sourced, and is an entirely dubious claim. The various Ohlone peoples and neighboring non-Ohlone natives all existed at a more or less equal technological and political level.

I've kept a single sentence describing the Emeryville Shellmound, with a "cite needed" note. Peter G Werner (talk) 22:52, 4 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Population, culture, and Spanish missions

[edit]

There is a non-sequitur in two sentences in the Introduction section that hint at potential improvement with a brief but important clarification:

Prior to the Gold Rush, the northern California region was one of the most densely populated regions north of Mexico.[3] However, in the years 1769 to 1833, the Spanish missions in California had a negative effect on Ohlone culture, and the Ohlone population declined steeply during this period.

Is there a cause-effect relationship here? The second sentence changes topic from demographics ("densely populated") to anthropology ("negative effect on Ohlone culture"): they don't fit. However, with proper documentation and citations, the first sentence could move beyond implication to state that Spanish missions introduced Eurasian diseases (typical impact across the Americas), which had more than just a "negative effect" on Ohlone culture: very likely, the Spanish missions decimated the population of the peninsula, which in turn could have led to loss of culture... Is there an expert who could flesh this out briefly but accurately? (I did not find details to this effect in the article below.) --Aboudaqn (talk) 21:01, 24 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Ramaytush Ohlone didn't live in San Francisco

[edit]

Ramaytush are the only remaining Ohlone who lived on the SF peninsula but they indicate that another group, I believe Yelamu, lived in what is now SF. Are Yelamu part of a larger Ramaytush grouping as indicated on Wikipedia, or are they distinct but also effectively extinct? The sources here are from 1995. I suggest using recent Ohlone sources.
