Establish a living history center and garden that teaches visitors about how the Felix Family lived sustainably on Tomales Bay and how visitors can learn to live with nature by developing an awareness of Indigenous ecological knowledge and practices.

From harvest to launch, take a look back at our 2024 Tule Build, documented by Bryan Hewitt of Hewitt Visuals Films. We even had otters join us during the build. Every year is a little different, but the heart of it remains: building relationship with the land, the plants, and each other, continuing the movements our ancestors carried for generations.

Deep gratitude to the ones who return year after year. You're part of a cycle, and the community that comes with that is a gift.

Our 2026 Tule Build is approaching. Watch the full 5-minute film on our YouTube channel, and follow us to stay connected and be part of what's next.

Our Thimbleberry relatives shared their soft red berries at Felix Cove this summer! 🔴🌿
For time immemorial, these bright red berries have carried our stories, nourished our bodies, and carried medicine through every part of the plant. The soft fruits were hand-gathered, juicy, tart-sweet, and fragile in your palm. We took only what we needed. Nothing was wasted.

Until 1956, our Támal-ko/Coast Miwok Felix Family on the west shores of Tomales Bay tended thimbleberry thickets through selective harvesting and cultural burning. We kept the patches healthy, encouraged new growth, and returned year after year to gather. We actively cared for the land, and it cared for us in return.

Our kinship with these plant relatives ended when colonial ranchers evicted our family from the land. But the plants still remember. The thimbleberry remembers. So do the wren t**s, hummingbirds, sparrows, finches, quail, kingfishers, hawks, ospreys, eagles, coyotes, deer, bobcats, and badgers — all our relatives who still call this place home.

We are still here. And we are still in relationship with our plant relatives, even from outside the fences that keep us out. 🎨

Indigenous women lead this Rematriation work at Felix Cove. But we don’t do it alone. Our Huckleberry Brothers, Greg Reza, Redbird Willie, Ken Tiger & Bryan Hewitt, stand beside us with humble, abundant, reliable support. Like the huckleberry: ever-present, generous, never asking for recognition.

We recognize them nonetheless. Ka Molis for all our support! 🫐

It’s time to build. 🛶
Join us at White House Pool Park, Sir Francis Drake Boulevard, Point Reyes Station on September 12th and 13th for an extra special weekend as we celebrate and commemorate the 5th anniversary of Alliance for Felix Cove and the birthday of ancestral matriarch "Liz" Campigli Harlan.

​We are commemorating the Coast Miwok/Tamal-ko Felix Family who lived at Felix Cove (Laird’s Landing) and Marshall Beach, and all the Tamal-ko families who lived at Tamal liwa/Tomales Bay as recent as the 1950s.

We'll be led by Redbird Willie, (Pomo, Wintu, Paiute, and Wailaki) Native ecologist and Greg Reza (Guachichiles), park ranger, to experience the transformation of tule reeds into a canoe through ancestral knowledge and community. Come honor and celebrate a resurgence of tule canoe builds.

Carpooling encouraged! Lunch will be provided. ​Please bring reusable water bottles, and a camp chair if you have one handy. Come for one day or participate in both!

This is the story behind the work: why the land, the water, and the ancestors call us back.

Today is National Nonprofit Day, a perfect reminder to recognize our potential for impact within our communities.
For at least 15,000 years, our Támal-ko ancestors lived and thrived along the shores of Tamal-liwa (Tomales Bay). Colonial displacement nearly erased that presence. But we're still here.

When you give to the Alliance for Felix Cove, you stand with an Indigenous-led organization working to:
🌿 Rematriate a sacred ancestral site
🔥 Rebuild pathways for healing, ceremony, and cultural renewal
📖 Re-Indigenize the lands and stories of Tamal-liwa

This work honors our ancestors and protects the future.
Join us in reclaiming and rematriating Felix Cove. Because where Indigenous voices lead, the land will thrive because of it.

Felix Cove is Sacred.

Our huckleberry relatives are filled with berries at Felix Cove this summer! 🌿🫐
For time immemorial, huckleberries have carried our stories, nourished our bodies and cured our ailments. Every part of the plant had purpose. Nothing was wasted.

Until 1956, Támal-ko/Coast Miwok Felix Family on the west shores of Tomales Bay harvesting huckleberries, strawberries, hazelnuts, Bay Laurel, and medicines like mugwort. We tended these plants through selective harvesting and cultural burning to stimulate new growth and berry production. We actively cared for it, and it cared for us in return.

Our kinship with these plant relatives ended when colonial ranchers evicted our family from the land. But the plants still remember. The huckleberry remembers. So do the wren t**s, sparrows, finches, and quail who fly from bush to bush or feast on their berries, including deer, elk and small animals. All our relatives who still call this place home.

We are still here. And we are still in relationship with our plant relatives, even from outside the fences that keep us out. 🫐🎨

What does it mean to say "The Future is Indigenous"? 🌍

Indigenous Futurism is Rematriation. It can weave new technologies with stories from past generations to connect to future generations. We employ digital story mapping to tell our ancestor stories. Just like our ancestors we use both available technologies and ancestral ways to realize our vision to rematriate Felix Cove. Park staff have told us our ancestors could only have arrived at Felix Cove in the 1900s because of our home reflects the architecture of the 20th century. If our ancestors were building barns and ranch houses for ranchers why wouldn’t they use the same materials and technology to update their own dwellings?

Indigenous adaptability by Indigenous hands assures futurism.

Indigenous survival was never about holding still. It was always about adapting, staying strong, and moving forward.
