“In the stillness of the Mountains,
the noise within begins to fade.” -✨🌱

“Umunhum” comes from the Ohlone word for
“Resting Place of the Hummingbird.” The name echoes across five Ohlone languages, mimicking the sound a hummingbird makes while hovering.
The mountain is considered sacred by the Amah Mutsun &Muwekma tribes, &it plays a central role in their creation stories &spiritual traditions.
In Amah Mutsun oral tradition, the Hummingbird bravely retrieved fire from the Badger People &brought it to the top of Mount Umunhum. The fire ignited in Hummingbird’s throat, turning it red—a sacred origin of the bird’s coloring.
The region around this mountain was one of the largest Native American population centers in North America, with around 70 different tribes calling it Home. Their sustainable practices helped preserve the mountain’s rich biodiversity.

Stephen Bishop, a , is the first American Great Cave Explorer &Guide who initially mapped the longest Cave system in the World?

{“If You toured
📍Mammoth Cave in Kentucky
in the year 1838, You would have been led by candlelight through dark, winding tunnels to the edge of a terrifying bottomless pit. Your guide would have been seventeen-year-old Stephen Bishop, an African American slave who became known around the world for his knowledge of Mammoth Cave.
Bishop needed bravery, intelligence, and curiosity to explore the vast cavern. Using only a lantern, rope, and other basic caving equipment, He found a way to cross the bottomless pit and discover many more miles of incredible grottoes and tunnels. For the rest of His life He guided visitors through the cave, showing them how to stoop, bend, and crawl through passageways that were sometimes far from the traditional tour route.”}
- Journey to the Bottomless Pit by Elizabeth Mitchell
