  Rumsen
The Rumsen people resided from the Pajaro River to Point Sur, and the lower courses of the Pajaro, as well as on the Salinas and Carmel Rivers, and present-day Cities of Monterey and Carmel.
The Rumsen were the first Costanoan people to be seen and documented by the Spanish explorers of Northern California, when Sebastian Vizcaíno documented their existence when he reached Monterey in 1602.
Most of the Rumsen moved into this mission and were baptized, lived and educated to be Catholic neophytes, also known as Mission Indians, until the missions were discontinued by the Mexican Government in 1834.

 Esselen Tribe of Monterey County, Technical Paper
From the pattern of baptisms it is clear that Pis/Pichi is on the coast not too far south of Carmel, and was occupied by Rumsens, and that Jojopan is further south, probably at the Big Sur River.
Ten Esselen and 13 Rumsens were baptized at Carmel between 1786 and 1791.
The above evidence suggests that Esselen and Rumsens were living together and intermixing in some fashion in the Big Sur River area by the mid 1780s.

Dancers from Northern California tribes perform at a ceremony at the historic Mission Delores in San Francisco hosted by the Coastanoan/Ohlone Rumsen Carmel tribe.
The event was seen as gesture of atonement by church officials for mistreatment of Indians during the mission period.

He pointed out the native stands of Monterey Cypress with their adaptation to the strong winds, known as "buttressing." Their trunks develop narrower facing the salt-laden wind and grow thicker on the other side as a brace, giving them their characteristic twisted appearance.
