A rare biography of a California Indian leader that weaves together the story of a legendary figure. It's a little known fact that the San Francisco Bay Area's Marin County is named after a Coast Miwok chief who achieved notoriety for defying Spanish authority over his people. Anthropologist and archaeologist Betty Goerke has pieced together a portrait of the life of this Native American leader, using mission records, ethnographies, explorers' and missionaries' diaries and correspondence, and other material.

Marin County's spectacular Pacific coast has been noted as both one of the most beautiful locations on earth and--for some early mariners--a place of absolute terror. The rocky coast here has claimed hundreds of ships and the lives of thousands of sailors. Though long known for its beautiful natural settings of woodlands, beaches, and hills, Marin's maritime history is surprisingly varied, with tales of English pirates, Spanish explorers, Yankee whalers, and an immense wartime shipbuilding effort. The rocky seascapes and sandy beaches of Point Reyes, Bolinas, and Stinson Beach--along with the bay-side villages of Sausalito, Tiburon, and San Rafael--have long been important ports for commercial and pleasure mariners.

Marin County has long been known for its beautiful woodlands, seashores, and hills, but its towns, people, and architecture tell an equally compelling story. The largest of the Bay Area's nine counties, Marin has an amazingly varied makeup in both its populace and its natural setting. From the sparse, rocky seascapes and sandy beaches along the Point Reyes Peninsula, Bolinas, and Stinson Beach, to the suburban tracts of San Rafael, Corte Madera, and Novato, this county runs the gamut of California lifestyles and landscapes.

It's time to rewild ourselves and our dominant worldviews to build earth-centered communities for all. The dominant cultural worldview is based upon extraction and exploitation practices that have brought us to the precipice of social, environmental, and climate collapse. Braiding poetic storytelling, climate justice and deep cultural analyses, and the collective knowledge of Earth-centered cultures, The Story is in Our Bones opens a portal to restoration and justice beyond the end of a world in crisis. Author, activist, and changemaker Osprey Orielle Lake weaves together ecological, mythical, political, and cultural understandings and shares her experiences working with global leaders, systems-thinkers, climate justice activists, and Indigenous Peoples. She seeks to summon a new way of being and thinking in the Anthropocene, which includes transforming the interlocking crises of colonialism, racism, patriarchy, capitalism, and ecocide, to build thriving Earth communities for all. Lake calls forth historical memory of who we are in the Earth's lineage to bring into being the world we keenly long for, at the delicate threshold of great peril or great promise. For anyone grieving our collective loss and wanting to take action, The Story is in Our Bones is a vital guide to remaking our world. This hopeful, engaging, and creatively lyrical work reminds readers that another world is possible, and provides a desperately needed antidote to the pervasive despair of our time.

This edition is a photographic journey tracing each of Marin County’s fourteen principle waterways from their source to termination point. The sequence of images follows this course making it a stride-by-stride accompaniment with the camera lens. The creeks and streams that eminently flow throughout Marin County are important draining outlets originating from the elevated mountain ranges that frame the skeleton of the region. Each creek becomes an important tributary that ultimately flows into the San Francisco Bay. Marin County has one of the highest rainfall averages in the San Francisco Bay area and flooding has been a constant throughout its history. The Coastal Miwok tribe inhabited the territory of Marin County for hundreds of years harvesting and gathering crops, hunting and fishing for salmon and steelhead trout. Their population was speculated to be near 5,000 and their lands stretched from Marin to southern Sonoma county and Bodega Bay. With the encroachment by Spanish settlers and missionaries and the creation of Missions San Francisco de Asis and San Rafael, the native population became depleted to 300 by 1848 and 60 by 1880. The principle cause for their demise became their exposure to European diseases, which their immune systems could not resist. The remains of a settlement and the burial site of their leader Chief Marin were unearthed near the juncture of Sycamore and Locust Streets in Mill Valley. With the ascension of the Mexican government, which wrested their independence from Spain, the missions were closed. The new government divided the region into two separate land grants in the 1830s. Over the subsequent two centuries, the region would evolve into upscale suburban enclaves with Mount Tamalpais looming prominently in the background. One might easily imagine an earlier rustic landscape clotted with dense forests. Corte de Madera is translated from the Spanish into a place where wood is cut and Mill Valley was renowned for its celebrated sawmill. The structure still remains along Mill Creek. Within the tenure of this photography project, I had the opportunity to witness the duality of each waterway’s existence. For most of the year, the creeks remain docile and placidly flowing. When I began photographing, California was in the midst of a devastating five-year drought. Water levels had recessed to dangerously low stages. During March 2016, forecasted El Nino rains drenched Marin County for a ten-day period with steady and substantial rains. This followed a February with no rainfall. The sluggish creeks suddenly swelled and an abrupt surge radically transformed their appearance. The calm streams resembled raging rivers. The crystalline waters became muddied by sediment. Nature had reawakened from five years of dormancy and draught. During this stretch, excess floodwaters fortunately did not materialize. One day they ultimately will as they have for generations and centuries. These untamable bodies of water cannot be fully constricted within the confines of city planning and construction development. Portions flow under commercial and residential structures and offer residents an alluring picturesque view. The pleasure is tempered by an uneasy truce once torrential rains resume. Each creek seems uniquely distinct and many sustain foliage and fauna that augment the splendor. Most are easily accessible and feature adjacent hiking trails. Sections remain concealed by private property constructions. The Marin waterways are a poignant reminder that no matter how resolute mankind attempts to subdue nature, the temporarily vanquished will ultimately prevail.
