The Chumash Today
By: Asia and Yuliana.
With the money from the Chumash casino Resort, the Chumash can now implement cultural enrichment programs that they couldn't previously afford. They have many cultural programs for Chumash tribal members and their children ranging from basket weaving classes, to Samala language classes. Learning the language directly from elders would have been the ideal situation. Unfortunately, that wasn't a possibility since the last Chumash elder who spoke the language passed away many years ago.
