    22:57 to 23:07 "The painting that includes the four horsemen, together with the painting depicting of swordfish are the only attempts at realism found in Chumash art." This statement is no longer true, a few years after this documentary was made they found a cave painting filled with white dots, and compared it to a star chart of the night sky over Santa Barbara, and all the white dots perfectly matched the stars. So the Chumash made possibly the oldest star chart in California. :D

    The Mission enslavement of Native Americans in CA is underplayed here a bit. The Chumash were worked to death and tortured for any independence; it wasn't just disease. When they say Chumash died by the thousands enslaved in the missions, rented out to haciendas, they are talking about something like 250,000 dead.

    I saw a video about the Chumash maybe 10 years ago. It was a five part series on youtube. I had it archived, but lost everything the so-called "Camp Fire" I have been trying to find it everywhere, but to no avail! It was a history that went deep into the sorcery used against the settlers, the surveying for the town done by Indians who pissed on the rawhide ropes, so the streets got all laid out wrong. A irror placed in a crevice in the Mountain above town, that shown down the main street at solstice. It had a part about young Chumash Men preaching Love everywhere. It also talked about many settlers going insane and having due to the sorcery, to be put in an asylum! It also claimed the Chumash were the keepers of wisdom for Turtle Island and that many tribes sent their bards/elders to download all of their knowledge to the Chumash history keepers before they died and much much more. Does anyone know where I can find a copy of this video series?

    Your father's book was quite an accomplishment considering the conditions of the Cave Paintings at the time. The book is a classic. The descendants of the Chumash living in the Tri-Counties area might argue that they were all "killed off" or that the Spanish missionaries were the only cause of their problems.

    "Absorbed" is a little more accurate. My Chumash ancestors married my Spanish ancestors, and so on. Survival is what you have to do when you have to do it to survive.

To truly survive something means more then to still be alive afterwords .. but that you find strength purpose and understanding In our struggles trials and tribulations..As long as we seek and speak TRUTH then the Tragedy of our ancestors past and what they had to endure is not in vain.

    The Federal, State, and County governments of this nation have stupidly failed to protect our archaeological heritage. Preserving these treasures could actually have provided some extra tourism dollars, which would not hurt our economy. A thriving art trade could be based on Chumash heritage, like Australian Indigenous art. Foolish waste of potential.

    My gram is a catholic native who mixes her spiritualities in a way that makes sense for her. Who the hell are you to tell anyone what is truth? That's just about as low down dirty as the catholics you slam above. I'm NOT catholic, but I respect my gram and what she went through. She told me Catholicism saved her life when she was a little girl. Should I turn my back on my gram because she doesn't believe what her ancestors did? I think that her ancestors would be proud of her survival. I am.

    Catholicism is a bit different than Christianity. Christ was the "Servant King", not a conqueror.
