and dwellings. as well.o study that how did people for thousands of years make use of the natural environment. because where located in this part of california, we are specialized in studying chumash indians and chumash prehistory. in our chumash hall, we show the change of cultures through time because culture is not static, it is always changing. we show how culture changes through time to do different artifacts and characteristics of different time periods and we talk about what was chumash culture like at the time europeans first arrived. when the spanish explorers first arrived in california and met chumash indians, they found a thriving population with the largest town being permanently inhabited on the coast.

because the people were living a great deal off of green resources like fishing off the coast. in fact, this is the highest population density reached by any average indian group in california. it was any santa barbara channel. if you look at north america had ally, california also higher population density compared to elsewhere in north america. what is so interesting is that these people lived entirely on hunting and gathering force assistance. they did not practice agriculture in the about -- native california. the name chumash is the name people had for the island and ad moneymakers. the only place in north america money, the became

only place where true money existed other than mexico was here in california. mint forevent -- making bead money was the chumash. it was measured in a standardized way by how many could gotrand of beads around the palm of your hand. they counted out and used beads the same way we use money. it is the only place in north america where money -- were true money existed. the shell beads were made from -- aloe verashell shell. it was a household industry on the channel islands, producing beads that will be strong and

long bands and used as a form of money to the people on the mainland. any santa barbara region, used by the chumash indians and their neighbors, it is the only place on the pacific coast of north america where boats were built entirely from planks of what appeared they would take driftwood that came ashore, pine logs or redwood that would flow down from northern california and they took these planes avoids and shape them into boards and drove them all the edges and sold them together -- sewed them together. these boats are used to go out fishing, very important for supporting the people.

for trade between people on the coast and the channel island. chumash indians were hunters and and they had finely woven borders. have in ourwe collection at the museum is south ofa native women santa barbara. she copied designs of spanish coins into her basket. her artistry was so appreciated by the spanish governor of california, they had her weave a dedication into the basket and he gave it as a gift to a friend

of his who was a general mexico. that basket has since been acquired by our museum in the 1920's and is now on exhibit in our home. -- hall. the missions had two major impacts on chumash society. one was the fact that they brought grazing animals with them. as the herds of grade animals -- e animalsimals -- graz grew, they ate these plans that chumash indians relied on. the grazing animals ate those and it caused a problem. if you are not practicing agriculture, where are you going to go?

that was one of the major impacts. it was an environmental change that came with the coming of the missions. the second thing is that they introduced diseases that arrived with your opinions -- your opinions. -- europeans. you had a high mortality from cholera,diphtheria, and other illnesses that came with the european culture. there was a high mortality in at ,he end of the mission period only 10% of the people who have been there 70 years earlier. having these artifacts on exhibit helps to educate people about the rich culture heritage of the native people of this area, the chumash indians and

give them appreciation of their culture. a message comes from this is how these people interacted with their environment. they did not impact the environment the way we are impacting it today, the population density was much more than we have today. one of the messages i think we want to tell at the museum is that we need to preserve this natural world and there are many useful things about it and it is important to our quality of life that we need to think about, where is our place in the long period of time that humans have been here. are we going to candidate -- continue to leave a legacy that we will be proud of in the future?
