Notes |
"The Ohlone people played music on flutes fashioned from hollowed alder branches, whistles made from hollow bird bones and rattles made with cocoons. They decorated their bodies for the dances and music that were their ceremonial celebrations. " [http://www.foundsf.org/index.php?title=Water_on_the_Land%E2%80%94The_Coast_People 02/03/2020] |
