This map shows who lived on the Channel Islands and the adjacent mainland. The term "Chumash" refers to at least eight different groups of people including those living on the northern islands and in the areas of present-day Malibu, Santa Barbara, and San Luis Obispo. To learn more about the prehistory and history of the Chumash people, check out the website for the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History at http://www.sbnature.org/chumash/index.htm.
