The Little School At A Glance
The Ramaytush are a linguistic subdivision of the Ohlone First Nations people of Northern California and their land encompasses San Francisco and San Mateo counties. This land was taken from them. We respectfully acknowledge that Little School is built on unceded Ramaytush Land and we invite you all to take a moment to consider this legacy. We begin to heal only when we begin to uncover and acknowledge the truth.
