If you really want to know the history of the San Francisco Indians, go look at the Handbook of North American Indians, Volumne 8 "California" published by the Smithsonian Press. In there you will find a chapter titled "Costanoan" which covers the Indians of the region that is now SF, the East Bay, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, and Monterey counties. It has a long bibliography. This is one place to start if you want to learn about these people and their culture.
