Describes the history of the Chumash Indians and their past and present culture.

The Chumash People have lived for centuries along the California coast and inland areas of what are now Ventura, Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo Counties. Over thousands of years, the Chumash achieved greater and greater success in wresting a livlihood from this territory. When Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo, in 1542, Made the first exploration of the California coast, he described them as a flourishing, numerous, good-looking people, living in villages large enough to be called towns, and possessing plank canoes and other sophisticated items of manufacture. Spanish missionization and the subsequent history of occupation by Mexicans and European Americans meant destruction of the Chumash way of life. Through archaeology, the diligent studies of anthropologists, and the oral tradition of Chumash descendants (many of whom still live in the region), much of this way of life is being rediscovered and brought to the attention of the world. In this book, much of this information is presented in concise and entertaining form. Also included are discussion questions, games, songs, legends and activities to help students appreciate and understand this important California culture.

This magnificent one-volume Chumash contains essential excerpts from the complete Hirsch commentary. This edition makes it much more practical to study the Hirsch commentary on the weekly parashah.

Describes the culture, religion, history, homes, art, and food of the Chumash Native Americans.

When Spanish explorers and missionaries came onto Southern California's shores in 1769, they encountered the large towns and villages of the Chumash, a people who at that time were among the most advanced hunter-gatherer societies in the world. The Spanish were entertained and fed at lavish feasts hosted by chiefs who ruled over the settlements and who participated in extensive social and economic networks. In this first modern synthesis of data from the Chumash heartland, Lynn H. Gamble weaves together multiple sources of evidence to re-create the rich tapestry of Chumash society. Drawing from archaeology, historical documents, ethnography, and ecology, she describes daily life in the large mainland towns, focusing on Chumash culture, household organization, politics, economy, warfare, and more.

The Chumash people have lived in coastal California from San Luis Obispo to Santa Barbara for thousands of years. Their homeland is an area of uncommon biological richness and diversity, featuring over 1,500 species of plants. Their traditional foods, medicine, raw materials for making clothing, all kinds of tools and utensils, religious paraphernalia, and other items essential to existence were derived from the natural world; in one way or another, everything the Chumash people made involved plants. This painstakingly researched and scrupulously documented book, intended for the layperson interested in gaining a deeper understanding of a significant California Indian culture, reveals a landscape seen daily by thousands of people but understood by very few.
