Cafe Ohlone (mak-‘amham) co-founders Vincent Medina and Louis Trevino discuss their efforts to strengthen Ohlone culture through food. mak-‘amham (mahk-am-haam) means “our food” in the Chochenyo language, the native language of the eastern shore of San Francisco Bay, the area known as "the East Bay." mak-’amham is an Ohlone cultural institution that works to empower the Ohlone community with tradition—it teaches the public, through taste, of the unbroken roots of the Ohlone people.
