    Three things I've read that the Chumash didn't have: farming, warfare, horses.

    yes I didn’t find much information on that either when reading. besides horses it seems the area was abundant so less need for warfare luckily

    The farming the native Chumash utilized was a relationship with the land rather than manipulating and changing the land. Using fires as a management tool.

    I heard someone say there was not as much fighting among the California indigenous people because the terrain made for natural divisions among the different people. So there wasn’t the competition like in other places. I don’t know if that’s true but it makes sense.

    Yea, the Chumash had a relationship with nature knowing that resources are limited and now we live in a post industrial society with many of our resources deminishing and land poorly mismanaged. It brought violence savagery and harmful indoctrinations.

    I see you're new here (and sound young) so good on you for starting your channel...may I suggest go easy on the woke language- it's a turnoff to critical thinkers... you make it sound like the Chumash were more special in their use of resources than any other native cultures for example...doubtful.

    yes, in my first few videos so appreciate the comment. my intention was to highlight attributes not to glamorize the tribe so thank you for mentioning how it made you feel. I think every tribe has their own special qualities. Did the title make you feel that way as well or more the language I used?

    More your language than the titles... As you are writing, remember it's better "to show not tell". Sure, I imagine each indigenous culture has something different or unique about them, but the very nature of any pre-industrial people living naturally is "sustainable" and respectful of resources- else they wouldn't persist as a people!

    Yeah, I had a similar thought. A lot of the presentation was repetitive praise of the Chumash. We don't need to be told repetitively that the Chumash were masters of their environment, lived in harmony with nature, etc. multiple times.
