Indian Canyon is nestled in the Gavilan mountain range, 15miles south of Hollister, CA.  During the 17 and 1800’s Indian Canyon served as a safe haven for the local indigenous peoples who were being abducted/recruited/bribed/transported to the Missions with the Spaniards.  The local Ohlone peoples knew the terrain and were able to traverse the territory into the secluded valley of Indian Canyon.  Since then Indian Canyon has remained a safe haven, currently Ann-Marie Sayers and her daughter have opened up the Canyon for all Indigenous Peoples in need of land for ceremony.
