a small bite from; "Chumash Values"

1st a brief into summarized Chumash History; The Chumash and Gabrielino-Tongva peoples were the first human inhabitants of the Channel Islands and Santa Monica Mountains areas. They are known to have lived here for thousands of years; numerous archaeological sites have been uncovered in the past decade. There were about 20,000 Chumash living in an area that covered California's coast from Malibu in the South, to San Luis Obispo in the North. The successful livelihood of the Chumash people was based upon their subsistence upon the available natural resources. chumash website thanks to south willard my sense and MAIN POINT!; these are core values to any sane person in today's standards.
