Updating, Chumas-Tong-va from East of East L.A. My grandparents on one side of the family started the City of Irwindale, the other grandparents were Chumas-Tong-va. My cousin Cindy Albitre is a leader of the Native American Tiat Society, Long Beach, California. An awesome family connection 🙏

Greetings to our cousins , im tongva, salinan. May our past relationships continue to stand on the lands that were our homes. Blessings.

Haku, I am a N.Chumash person of YTT of N.Chumash Nation. You may have heard of me my name is Peggi Odom daughter of LeiLynn Olivas, granddaughter of Timothy Olivas , great granddaughter of Rosario Cooper. I was gifted a sword fish nose when on a project in San Simeon, I took a walk at lunch time on the beach and came upon this. I have decided to bring back the Sword Fish Dance to my family And the N Chumash Territory. Actually the Ancient ones made up my mind. Thank you for telling some of our story. All My Relations

Thank you, Mr Salazar🎉

I am a relative of Alan Salazar. My Uncle was Chief Charlie "Eagle Eye" Cooke. We are Chumash and Tataviam Indigenous Natives. I am truly proud of my families history.

Thank you so much Alan. You represent your Chumash people so well. I love listening to you tell a story. It is your gift. I wish you health and a very long life. ❤

I am Winnie ward grandson , I know Charlie cook well, my father and Charlie were good childhood friends groing up in Newhall, piru love the old stories

Amazing video!!! Nice to see Alan again, I remember seeing him almost ten years ago at the Chumash museum for my Native American history class, I love Chumash history, great culture!!

Thank you Mr Salazar Respectfully Raymond Alvarez former secretary of the Azusa historical society, Azusa California. An honor to hear from you in this recording.

What a magical person. Thanks for archiving great indigenous story tellers.

I'm hearing so many Polynesian sounding words....could be a coincidence. Hawaiians had to relearn wayfaring and sailed to Tahiti on the Hokulea... This reminded me of that story :)

Hi Alan. It’s nice to see you again my friend.

Beautiful stories. I can feel the breath of life that runs through them. Thank you.

You touched my Heart! With this story of the mission story and my great Grandmother and her Mother told me story's of working at the mission I am descendent of the Ward family I called Charlie cook uncle as well if any one knows history of the wards I'd love to hear about them

Born and raised in Ventura CA and I’ve always wondered about the history of the Chumash because you can’t see any traces of them there anymore.

I knew Grandfather Semu from his age 63. He sounded like a Hawaiian when he sang and played ukulele. He said Chumash were Polynesian.

You're amazing Alan Salazar I loved learning about the Chumash people from your stories(I love storytelling) and as an LA native I will always mention to new comers the history of the land and the the history of the Chumash people. Hope to see your museum soon after quarantine:)

There is a theory that channel crossings were made usually at night as the winds and sea were more calm. There is archaeological evidence of lofty "look out stations" on top of high sea cliffs on the east end of Santa Cruz Island that show evidence of fires burning (lenses of pure solid wood ash) for long periods of time. These fires might have been used for night time navigation by plank canoe crews. Anacapa Island most likely was used as a "stepping stone" where tomol crew would rest for a day and a night before continuing on to Santa Cruz Island. It's not difficult to imagine large bon- fires burning that could be seen over long distance above the marine layer all the paddlers would have to do is keep a visual fix on the light until they reached land.

Awesome

My bloodline Salazar have been here for thousands of years! Unfortunately we've been pushed out of our homelands and then scattered around the 4 corners, but not only do the census numbers show us in great numbers, originally settling in Anahuac Mexica, we've migrated in all 4 directions! Down, up, left, right...the southwest has been our home, but you can find our indegenous footprint in Kanata, Turtle Island, Mesobrendia, and Atlantis. Our brothers over seas were the Saliac Merovinigans, of the lost tribe of Benjamin. Before the Romance era, before the concil of Nicea, before the Franks, Faramund, King Arthur and Marchomir to the Greeks, Lord Priam of Troy. This is how far the Salazar goes, all the way back to Egypt, Al Azar, Lazar of Bethanu. They were masons and mound builders who practiced Alchemy Magik and Sorcery to whats now considered Freemasonry. We are Giptanos, Gypsies to Al Azar, Azra El, the House of Lazarus, Osiris

I believe these people are related to the Polynesians! We need more research done ASAP. There's been too much whitewashing of native cultures, so this is something that can be critical to preserving indigenous cultures!

Check out Dr. Lisa Matisoo-smith work. She is a professor from new Zealand and she is good at breaking down how easy it is to get from new Zealand to south America and from there move upwards towards California. We took sweet potato and gords from the Americas(thank you!) and we in left our sewn plank tech in two places in the Americas (in theory).

​@@teamthoth Thank you for sharing. There is an episode of America Unearthed called The Kennewick Man. He visits Hawaii and shows this connection. Sweet potatoes, and chickens too. The canoe construction style and name are also the same.

Mitoke oyasin hello my relative 💘 this video wow dude you can even write a book of your ancestors that would be totally groovy your interesting from Vegas baby and yeah we're vegas strong ✌☮ thank you

Alan, if you're reading this you may end one of my cousins. My mother is of mitsqanaqan̓ (Ventureño)

I was told my grandmother Margarita Lopez was full blooded Chumash. But her records were destroyed in a mission fire.

A refreshing fact. The university students from the critical mission stories is CHANGING our future generations by being the Native California culture back to life. Prayers for all of our Native family
