Cultural Affiliation and Lineal Descent of Chumash Peoples in the Channel Islands and the Santa Monica Mountains. Volume 1

摘要

The research described in this report has been designed to identify lineal descent and cultural affiliation between potentially related past and present Indian groups, i.e. the relation of shared group identity between a present day Indian tribe--and an identifiable earlier group (U.S. Code 1990: 3048), in the areas formerly controlled by peoples speaking Chumash languages and presently under the stewardship ofthe National Park Service in the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area and the Channel Islands National Park.
