Chumash people in California to co-steward marine sanctuary in historic partnership

[hunter]

4. I grew up and attended public schools in California.

The community I lived in was 99% white.

In history classes it was implied the Chumash were extinct, like the dinosaurs.

I think a lot of my Republican classmates, especially the Trump voters, believe the Chumash Culture was demonically resurrected by the Liberals; that they are not the people who have been here all along. They still won't recognize Native Americans as survivors of one of human history's great genocides and still hate them for not "assimilating," just as they hate recent immigrants.
