Ann Marie Sayers, Mutsun/Ohlone, lives at Indian Canyon, the only recognized California Indian Country in the California coastal region between Santa Barbara to the south, and Point Reyes/Clear Lake to the north. She is the Director of Costanoan Indian Research, Inc., and frequently participates in state and national meetings to restore ownership of cultural heritage to Native Americans and to educate government officials regarding Native American ways and rights. Many of these meetings occur at Indian Canyon, including meetings with National Park Service and other state and federal representatives.

Ann Marie lives to honor her ancestors and to share traditional land with all indigenous people in need of authentic, sacred and traditional land for ceremony.
