A tremendous thank you to everyone you could join us for our trip to Santa Rosa Island last week and we hope you enjoyed the event.

It was wonderful to see everyone together again on the Channel Islands. An extra special thank you to our extraordinary guides and sweeps.

The Indigenous #Chumash depended upon a variety of food sources on the Channel Islands. One botanical food source that the Chumash of the #ChannelIslands probably relied on most is Blue Dicks (Dipterostemon capitatus), a small wildflower that is also present on the mainland.
