The Chumash people or čʰumaš or sʰamala . They lived from malibu in the south to Moro bay in the north and on some of the Channel Islands. It is estimated that there were 10,000-20,000 people in the precontact era. . The place names of Malibu, Lompoc, Ojai, Pismo Beach, Point Mugu, Port Hueneme, Piru, Lake Castaic, Saticoy, and Simi Valley all come from Chumash words. The people in the Obisbo area spoke what is called Northen Chumash or Obispeño. The people lived in the area for about 10,000 years and speak one of the oldest languages in Califonia. They are well known for their large sea-going sewn plank boats. The Chumash rebelled against the opresvie Spanish rule in the Chumash Revolt of 1824.

The Santa Ynez Band of Chumash is a federally recognized Chumash tribe. They have the Santa Ynez Reservation located in Santa Barbara County. Chumash people are also enrolled in the Tejon Indian Tribe of California.

also, the Coastal Band of the Chumash Nation, and the Barbareño/Ventureño Band of Mission Indians are attempting to gain federal recognition. Other Chumash tribal groups include the Northern Chumash Tribal Council, descendants from the San Luis Obispo area, and the Barbareno Chumash Council, descendants from the greater Santa Barbara area. There are about 5,000 Chumash people today.
