This is so terribly heartbreaking. Thank you for sharing. It's important for people who live on Chumash land to know this history.

Great video, just finished the book “American Genocide” and now have a keen interest in California Indian history

Genocide? What genocide?

My brother's Godfather was Chumash and resided in Montecito, Ca. I learned about his interesting life from his obituary.I was not aware of him being Chumash at the time until after his passing. I just remembered as kids my parents visited them occasionally and we always spent our time playing games outside.

Very well done. The Chumash are still with us.

Wonderful video. Thank you for teaching me what I did not know. I grew up in the central coast. Been here my whole life. Not one word of any of this ever spoken of at school.

I am part Chumash thank you for sharing this my birthday in next week and couldn't be any prouder to be mixed Indigenous.

San Luis Obispo was burnt down twice and the mission that stands now is the third version. I’ve also noticed how over the years they have taken out more artifacts in the museum at the church.

can you elaborate? I feel like I've seen less and less but I started going to the museum when I was very young so I can't remember what's gone/what's still there

Good video presentation on your People and your history. Thanks Mr. Joe!

Thank you for sharing!

Great documentary

It’s an unending challenge

I’m Chumash and I would love to learn more about my ancestors! How am I able to get in contact with one of these gentleman??

Working from sun up to sun down was normal until after the industrial age started and for some it continues, especially in agriculture. Those work hours were not unique to the Chumash. As for medical treatment, what exactly were the Mexican soldiers or priests supposed to do for treatment in those years? We still don't have cures for a lot of those illnesses, and there was practically or flat none back then. No mention of the drought that tightened the food supply mentioned, and only a quick mention of the change in government from Spain to Mexico. It was after Mexico took over that the new Mexican government began to create and enforce the harsh treatment including forced acculturation. When comparing how the Indians everywhere else in Mexico were treated compared to the Chumash, clearly they had it far sweeter. They weren't slaughtered and they really loved the priests and the priests loved them. The records are thick that after the rebellion many people came back to the Missions to return to their lives and homes and religion, and the priests negotiated and advocated for the Indians with the Mexican soldiers. None of the priests were hurt at any of the Missions during the rebellions. Mexico's track record with how it treated the locals after conquering is rarely stellar, and typically they would just try to wipe them out, where in the United States it was more focused on pushing them out of the way over and over. The guy at the beginning had it right though, before the Spanish and Mexicans arrived the Chumash were by far one of the richest tribes around. They had tons of food from the ocean and just kind of kicked it, but after the Spanish came and turned them into farmers instead of fishers, that's a whole different work and life style. Cool insights from both of the interviewed.

The chumash should buy back the la purisima mission or fight for la purisima mission which is in my town of lompoc California

Thank you. Pilipicho.

They're in the description and at the end of the video. Joe Talaugon and Alan Salazar.

it happened to all the natureloving spiritual people...who had to choose between assimilation or going backwards. are these chumash a related tribe to the chuvash turks in siberia?

Help me , I've gotten my DNA research to confirm my family heritage of Chumas connection. Each time, to be denied a Decedent's lineage. I trust the Native people built this country before the United States Government was ever part of California.

This video is about Chumash, Spain and Mexico. There is nothing in it at all about the US.

The tribal council is like that. Your efforts need to be diverted to genealogy, birth records etc. They have a big pie they don't wanna share in these days.

They killed them

Let me guess this didn’t happen either List of indigenous rebellions in Mexico. @Carlos Lopez 😂

The Spanish never had a policy of systemic extermination of any Native American tribe!! Yes, they made some mistakes, but it was nothing like what the US government did! My DNA says I’m 56% Native American/indigenous and I’m also a catholic! I love the Catholic Church!

The US never had that policy either but both the US and Spain had soldiers who were ok with trying to do it anyway. The US method was push them out and away, over and over until after the battle of Wounded Knee, then the reservation system was set and done, and still lingers on creating its own modern rot.
