˜Chumash Indian Culture and History –

As a complement to our Chumash language information, here is our collection of indexed links about the Chumash tribe and their society. Please note that Chumashs and other American Indians are living people with a present and a future as well as a past. Chumash history is interesting and important, but the Chumash Indians are still here today, too, and we try to feature modern writers as well as traditional folklore, contemporary art as well as museum pieces, and the life and struggles of today as well as the tragedies of yesterday. Please contact us if you have an Chumash link to add.
