It's Ohlone for mourning dove

 

Who am I? · Jun 13, 08:08 AM

My name is Mary Bordi. I have been known as the mail lady and Bud’s Mom and lately, Grammy.

I’ve lived in San Mateo County all my life, and that’s over half a century. My great grandparents settled at San Gregorio in the 1880s and two of their great-great-great-grandchildren live there with their family today.

Me, I live about seven miles from La Honda in an area so remote that cable and DSL are not available. The Bordi family has lived here for four generations.

That’s my dog Jerusha with me in the picture.

The name Hununu comes from the Ohlone word for Mourning Dove. The Ohlone people lived here before the first Europeans arrived.
