The restaurants, land trusts, markets and community organizations below offer ways to support Indigenous communities today and throughout the year, on Ohlone homelands in San Francisco, Oakland and Berkeley. ## Start with the Shuumi Land Tax The [Sogorea Te' Land Trust](https://sogoreate-landtrust.org/about/?ref=fypsf.com), an urban Indigenous women-led land trust, has run the [Shuumi Land Tax](https://sogoreate-landtrust.org/pay-the-shuumi-land-tax/?ref=fypsf.com) since November 2015\. It is a voluntary annual contribution from non-Indigenous people living on [Lisjan Ohlone territory](https://sogoreate-landtrust.org/lisjan-history-and-territory/?ref=fypsf.com) in the East Bay. Renters enter their monthly rent and owners enter their number of bedrooms, and the calculator suggests an amount you can pay yearly or monthly. Payments are tax-deductible charitable contributions, and businesses and institutions can pay a [separate institutional version](https://sogoreate-landtrust.org/pay-institutional-shuumi/?ref=fypsf.com) based on budget or revenue. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/8e/6f/8e6faa40-6e15-453d-ac7f-0a0986d6ae12/content/images/2026/10/give-shuumi-sign.jpg) By its [tenth anniversary in 2025](https://sogoreate-landtrust.org/2025/10/03/a-decade-of-shuumi-land-tax/?ref=fypsf.com), the tax had helped the trust steward more than ten sites and about 55 acres, including the Pinnantak garden on Ashby Avenue in South Berkeley, a West Berkeley shellmound site and Lisjan, an Oakland village site with the region's first arbor built in more than 250 years. It also funds Chochenyo language classes and Indigenous agriculture teaching. ## Eat [Wahpepah's Kitchen](https://wahpepahskitchen.com/?ref=fypsf.com) in Fruitvale, 3301 E 12th St #133, Oakland. Chef Crystal Wahpepah, who is Kickapoo, Sac and Fox and African American, opened it in 2021 and cooks around traditional Indigenous foods: corn, wild rice, bison, smoked salmon. Her cookbook, *A Feather and a Fork*, came out in March 2026\. Lunch is Wednesday through Sunday, 11 AM to 2 PM, with last seating at 1:30, and catering and a shop are online. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/8e/6f/8e6faa40-6e15-453d-ac7f-0a0986d6ae12/content/images/2026/10/Resilience-Design-2020---3-of-32-1.webp) [Café Ohlone](https://www.makamham.com/cafe-ohlone-copy?ref=fypsf.com), led by Vincent Medina (East Bay Ohlone) and Louis Trevino (Rumsen Ohlone), is worth watching for its return. Its café 'ammatka, Chochenyo for "the dining hall," at the Lawrence Hall of Science is [temporarily closed](https://lawrencehallofscience.org/ammatka-cafe/?ref=fypsf.com) while its kitchen expands, and the seasonal restaurant 'ottoytak, outside the Hearst Museum on the UC Berkeley campus, has announced plans to resume dining this fall. Check their site for reopening news before you go. ## Shop and get a haircut [The Hair Place & More Barbershop](https://www.sfheritage.org/cultural-districts/american-indian-cultural-district/the-hair-place-more-barbershop/?ref=fypsf.com), 3166 22nd Street in the Mission. The shop has been cutting hair since 1980, and Debbie Santiago, a co-founder of the American Indian Cultural District, became its sole owner in 2004\. Last December it became the first Native American-owned business on San Francisco's Legacy Business Registry. The [Indigenous Red Market](https://www.nativehealth.org/indigenous-red-market/?ref=fypsf.com) in Oakland, run by the Native American Health Center since 2018, gathers Indigenous artists and vendors with cultural performances and an entrepreneurship program for Native small business owners. Its website currently lists markets in March and May 2026, so follow it for upcoming dates. ## Give and get involved [Intertribal Friendship House](https://www.ifhurbanrez.org/home?ref=fypsf.com), 523 International Blvd, Oakland. A community center for Native individuals and families across the Bay Area, with ceremony and cultural programming. Its website lists public events, volunteering and ways to donate. [Friendship House Association of American Indians](https://ncuih.org/2026/02/03/friendship-house-celebrates-investment-in-healing-centered-housing-in-san-francisco/?ref=fypsf.com) in San Francisco has served Native people for more than 60 years. Its next project, The Village SF in the Mission, combines recovery housing, behavioral health, workforce training and cultural programs, backed by a $31.4 million state investment. Plans include a café and traditional-foods teaching kitchen with Crystal Wahpepah. Its programs serve people in treatment and recovery, so donating is the way to support it. The [American Indian Cultural District](https://www.caculturaldistricts.org/american-indian-cultural-district?ref=fypsf.com), established in the Mission in 2020, supports Native businesses, vendors and artists through activations and events across the neighborhood. Follow it for announcements during Native American Heritage Month in November. Ceremonies, treatment programs and land sites are not drop-in spaces. Each organization's events and volunteer pages are the way to take part. Know an Indigenous-owned business we should add? Tell us and we will keep this list growing.
