Come explore the different trade routes, trade items, and trade events that linked the Islands peoples to the mainlanders every year. Our primary focus is on the Chumash and Gabrielino/ Tongva, but we will see that their trade network spread all the way into the inland deserts, and up to Oregon and Nevada. Amazing ! No cars, no horses, how DID they do it ??

5. Looking inland, the Gabrielinos also traded with the Cahuilla and Mojave in the high

DIG Discovery #3 - If you were a Chumash person living on the mainland - what would you
gather or make that would be your most important and valuable trade item? I would have sea lion meat and sea otter skins.
DIG Discovery #4 - What trade item that was used for clothing was traded for from other tribes in
the Southwest ? button What item was used as a paint pigment and who did they trade with to get
it ?
The Gabrielinos on Santa Catalina were miners of
*soapstone*, also called steatite, which produced
the pliable stone material for their production of
watertight vessels used in cooking, storage and
ceremony, and for carving ceremonial and
decorative objects. Steatite was quarried in
considerable quantity at Pots Valley on Santa
Catalina, up to 300 quarry pits having been
found in a two square mile area on the south
eastern end of Santa Catalina.
They acquired the red
pigment used to paint their canoes from the inland Mojave tribe who traveled two weeks
on foot to bring their hematite mineral to trade with the coastal Chumash.
DIG Discovery #5 - Where were the unique square trade beads from San Clemente Island found
that shows that their trade route was not based on close geography, but based on common
language. One of the afternoon sessions was given by Dr. M. Raab who did a lot
of research on the grooved beads made by the Gabrielino in the
Channel Islands. These beads are very special in that they are marine
shell beads, rectangular in shape and have holes in them (allowing them
to be strung) which was cut or ground with Native American implements
until a hole was formed. This makes them unusual because many other
beads made in this time period were punched through or drilled to make
their hole.
Perhaps the most amazing thing Dr. Raab has discovered is that these
beads have been found in unlikely places, almost mysteriously. If you
look at a map of the Western United States you will be able to locate
the other places they have been found. In 1991, during an archeological
dig in Little Harbor on Catalina Island, these special beads were found,
along with some on San Nicholas and on the adjacent coast of the
mainland (California). This was not so surprising, as we know the
Gabrielino used beads for trading and certainly traded with other groups
of Native Americans near by. But the amazing thing was the discovery
of these exact kind of beads (which were not common) were also found
in a cluster area of Nevada near Carson City, and in one site in central
Oregon. These beads were carbon dated and found to have been all
from the same time period. (It might be a good idea to get a map you
can write on and mark the above mentioned locations, take a close look
at them and think for a minute or two as to what this might mean before
reading on.)
Well, what Dr. Raab and some other research scientists believe is that
his means that the Gabrielino trade area was much larger than originally
thought and yet this trade was done in very specific areas. The finding of
these beads indicates that the Native Americans of the Channel Islands
had connections with other cultures in the Western United States. This is
a new idea. Good food for thought!
DIG Discovery #6 - The annual Harvest festival held by the mainland Chumash happened about
this time of year. It was such an important event that the island Chumash would paddle over to
trade and share in the festival. This was an important time for young girls and boys to identify
potential mates too. Who is the goddess that was celebrated during this festival and what migration
story is she very important in? #6 The most important ceremony being the "Shup" or "Hutash" ceremony honoring the Earth
Goddess who was the source of terrestrial food. She is important in the Rainbow Bridge migration
story.

The Chumash, primarily on Santa Cruz Island,
manufactured one of the few forms of money
recognized by the many Indian tribes in southern
California. They were experts in transforming sea
shells into decorative ornaments, and specialized in
using the Olivella shells to form small shell disks,
*ponco*, that were strung on fibre twine and used as a
form of currency on and off the islands. The tightly
woven, often water tight baskets of the Chumash were
also highly prized and admitted object of trade.
2. Used for storage, cooking and ceremonial functions, these vessels constitute
most important trade materials in the Chumash and Gabrielino (Tongva') worlds from circa 1100 A.D. into the Historic era. In Chumash and Tongya sites on the Southern California mainland, these vessels appear to have been important wealth goods, even when used for utilitarian purposes. Soapstone vessels performed many of the functions normally associated with pottery cookware and storage and may partially account for the absence of pottery development by the Chumash.
3. The seasonal ceremonies held at the larger villages along the mainland coast were common times where the islanders would cross the Channel in their tomol for trading - the most important ceremony being the "Shup" or "Hutash" ceremony honoring the Earth Goddess who was the source of terrestrial food - a ceremony similar to other harvest festivities around the world, including the American Thanksgiving.
4. The Gabrielinos on Santa Catalina were miners of
*soapstone*, also called steatite, which produced
the pliable stone material for their production of
watertight vessels used in cooking, storage and
ceremony, and for carving ceremonial and
decorative objects. Steatite was quarried in
considerable quantity at Pots Valley on Santa
Catalina, up to 300 quarry pits having been
found in a two square mile area on the south
eastern end of Santa Catalina. The Gabrielinos
soapstone bowls were highly sought after items
for trade, and the soapstone was exported to other
tribes where it was carved into
pipes and fetishes reflecting different tribal or clan
totems ( protecting animal spirits)./ They acquired the red
pigment used to paint their canoes from the inland Mojave tribe who traveled on foot to bring their hematite mineral to trade with the coastal Chumash.
5. One of the afternoon sessions was given by Dr. M. Raab who did a lot of
research on the grooved beads made by the Gabrielino in the Channel

*dolphins* ... a sea creature still thought of by the Chumash today as a relative of

The Hutash story is also recounted in earlier publications, and this version is adapted
from a publication from the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History.
The first Chumash people were created on Santa Cruz Island. They were made from
seeds of a Magic Plant by the Earth goddess "Hutash". Her husband, the Sky Snake,
was the Milky Way, and he sent down a bolt of lighting to the First People, giving them
fire for warmth and cooking. Soon they began to live more comfortably. More and more
people were born each year, and their villages got bigger and bigger. Santa Cruz Island
was getting crowded, it is was becoming difficult to find enough food to feed all of
these people. And the noise they made was starting to annoy "Hutash". It kept her
awake at night. So, finally she decided some of the First People should move off the
island and on to the mainland, where there were no people living. But the First People
did not yet have canoes, and did not have a way to cross the Channel.
"Hutash" then created a brilliant rainbow that arched as a bridge between Santa Cruz
Island and the mainland, from island mountain top to mainland mountain top. She
explained to the people that many of them must cross over the Rainbow Bridge to fill
The new world on the other side with people. Many people began to cross the bridge, but
some were frightened and when they looked down the swirling fog and waters below
made them dizzy and they fell down, down, into the sea. "Hutash" felt badly about
this because it was she who had told them to cross the bridge and she did not want
them to drown. To save them, "Hutash" turned the fallen people into First Dolphins and
the Chumash have ever since considered dolphins their relatives. "

#3 - If you were a Chumash person living on the mainland - what would you gather or make that would be your most important and valuable trade item?
The seasonal ceremonies held at the larger villages along the mainland coast were common times where the islanders would cross the Channel in their tomol for trading - the most important ceremony being the "Shup" or "Hutash" ceremony honoring the Earth Goddess who was the source of terrestrial food - a ceremony similar to other harvest festivals around the world, including the American Thanksgiving. The *Hutash* Celebration could last five to six days, and was a time of much trading, game playing and no doubt entrancing storytelling, linking the geographically diverse Chumash villages closer to a unified world view and religion.
#4 - What trade item that was used for clothing was traded for from other tribes in the Southwest?
Looking inland, the Gabrielino also traded with the Cahuilla and Mojave in the high desert to the East, and the Juaneno and Luiseno to the South, creating a broader range of materials - like woven cotton, fired pottery, and mineral pigments for painting- that were traded between the mainland and island villagers. They in turn received shell beads, steatite and asphaltum that were taken back to the high desert.

form of currency on and off the islands.
DIG Discovery #2 - If you were a Pimugan person living on Catalina Island - what would you make
that would be your most important and valuable trade item? The extensive soapstone quarries and mines on

the Southwest ? What item was used as a paint pigment and who did they trade with to get it? The mainland Gabrielinos traded seeds, deer hide, rabbit skins, islay ( wild cherries),
obsidian points, pine nuts, and chia seeds to the islanders, who offered in return chunks of steatite for carving - or steatite already shaped into bowls. They acquired the red
pigment used to paint their canoes from the inland Mojave tribe who traveled two weeks
on foot to bring their hematite mineral to trade with the coastal Chumash.
DIG Discovery #5 - Where were the unique square trade beads from San Clemente Island found
that shows that their trade route was not based on close geography, but based on common language. f you
look at a map of the Western United States you will be able to locate the other places they have been found. In 1991, during an archeological dig
in Little Harbor on Catalina Island, these special beads were found, along with some on San Nicholas and on the adjacent coast of the mainland (California.)
DIG Discovery #6 - The annual Harvest festival held by the mainland Chumash happened about this
time of year. It was such an important event that the island Chumash would paddle over to trade and
share in the festival. This was an important time for young girls and boys to identify potential mates
too. Who is the goddess that was celebrated during this festival and what migration story is she very
important in? Another, more recent, book published about the Chumash, is
the story of *Hutash*, the Chumash Earth Goddess who created
a rainbow bridge by which the islanders crossed to the
mainland. Those who grew fearful during the crossing, and
looked down, fell into the ocean and were changed into
*dolphins* ... a sea creature still thought of by the Chumash today as a relative of
their people.
