Channel Islands Focus for this Week:

The History, Art & Culture of Surfing

http://www.rain.org/campinternet/channelhistory/surfing

Native Plants of the Channel Islands Region

http://www.rain.org/campinternet/channelhistory/plants

The Channel Islands are sometimes referred to as the North American Galapagos due to the unique species and sub species that can be found on these isolated and less disturbed Island habitats. Both plants and animals on the California Channel Islands have developed unique characteristics.

The plants on the islands represent native species, which have lived on the island since before European colonization began, and they include introduced plants that the settlers brought with them. The islands also have plants with utilitarian and medicinal properties understood by the Native Americans who lived on the islands since up to 13,000 years ago.

Channel Islands Literature Study Continue with:

The Rainbow Bridge – a Chumash Indian Story -

Another, more recent, book published about the Chumash, is the story of *Hutash*, the Chumash Earth Goddess who created a rainbow bridge by which the islanders crossed to the mainland.

Those who grew fearful during the crossing, and looked down, fell into the ocean and were changed into *dolphins* … a sea creature still thought of by the Chumash today as a relative of their people.

As we study be sure to keep notes and work on an essay that explores the Relationships and the Differences in the different Tribes.
