  When Spanish explorers and missionaries came onto Southern California's shores in 1769, they encountered the large towns and villages of the Chumash, a people who at that time were among the most advanced hunter-gatherer societies in the world. This title weaves together multiple sources of evidence to re-create the tapestry of Chumash society.
