| When the first Europeans arrived in the 1500s, there were over 18,000 Chumash | ||
They
spoke a similar language called Hokan, and their villages were some the
largest in California. They traded with near by tribes - even those that
spoke different languages. By the 1800s there were only a few hundred Chumash
living and those remaining out on the islands moved to the mainland where
their descendents continue to live today. The Chumash today are keeping
alive their stories, basketry, rock art, and lifeways to pass on to future
generations. |
