Subject: Chumash and Gabrielino
Dear John,
I am developing some curriculum on the Native American Indians of the
Channel
Islands. I am interested in the sand paintings of the Gabrielinos and the
shell money and jewelry of the Chumash. Could you answer these questions
for
me?
1. I have read that sand paintings were used in the rituals for young
Gabrielino girls as they became women. Can you tell me what type of
images
were used?
2. Concerning the shell money and jewelry of the Chumash. Were there any
shell patterns or special colors in the stringing of shell beads?
Thank you for your time and expertise.
Sincerely,
Ms. Joan Ward
Camp Internet teacher
Dear Paul,
Our school is located in the San Gabriel mountain range. Our
elevation is about 5,000 feet. We are comparing the Gabrielino and the
Chumash. Today we examined our acorns in Mt. Baldy and compared them
with the acorns from the Santa Barbara area, where the Chumash lived.
There is a huge difference. Our acorns are very big and fat with much
more nut to them. Did the Gabrielinos and Chumash trade acorns? Do
they taste the same? Did they store the same? Thank you for your time.

Dear John,
We are currently studying and comparing Gabrielino and Chumash Indians.
We were wondering if anyone makes genuine tomols anymore. If so, who
and where?

Greetings from the Clan of the Dolphin, Clan of the Island Fox, Clan of
the
Comorant, and Clan of the White Shells. My class of 20 elementary
students
will be breaking into clans to research their clan name and develop their
own
stories to add to the legends we've already read. It was a tie between
the
Rainbow Bridge and the Coyote tales in my class.
My students are diverse in talent and background. The program is
stimulating
enough for the gifted and pulls the lower readers in with a high interest
