The Ramaytush were one of the major divisions of the Ohlone Native Americans of Northern California who inhabited the San Francisco Peninsula between San Francisco Bay and the Pacific Ocean in the area which is now San Francisco and San Mateo Counties.
Ramaytush (also called San Francisco) is also the name of their spoken language, listed as one of the Coastanoan dialects in the Utian family.
Their territory was bordered on most sides by water, except in the south by the Tamyen and Awaswas Ohlone people.
Today, the Ramaytush have joined with the other San Francisco Bay Area Ohlone people under the name of the Muwekma Ohlone Tribe. The Muwekma Ohlone are currently petitioning for U.S. federal recognition.
Some major known Ramaytush village sites include:
The Yelamu grouping which included the villages surrounding Mission Dolores:
On the San Francisco Bay, near San Bruno Mountain:
The Ssalson grouping along San Mateo Creek, in San Andreas Valley, who had 3 villages:
