Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians
"Our reservation in the Santa Ynez Valley is the home to tribal families, our tribal government, and the Chumash Casino Resort. But our reservation also is home to a dream that started many years ago with our ancestors. Their spirit will continue far into the future because of the actions we are taking in the present. The information in this website presents an opportunity to get to know us a little better — to learn some of our history and culture, and see the progress we’ve made in our government and economic development."
Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History

John Anderson Library
John Anderson's research into Chumash history and culture began in the late 1970’s when he was working at the University of California. He visited the national archives with Dr.Greg Schaaf to research the history of the Tejon Reservation. Very little was known at this time about the Mountain Chumash participation in the 1851 Tejon treaty and their struggles to hold onto their ancestral lands. Over the next four decades, John researched and wrote a number of papers and books on the Chumash, focusing on history and philosophy.
