Acknowledgements
Thousands of years before the Spanish arrived in California, a Native American people called the Chumash, or “shell people” lived and thrived along the state’s rugged coastline, canoeing back and forth among the Channel Islands, specifically Santa Cruz Island. For years these native people fascinated me so much so that I wanted to bring a Chumash descendant to life in a contemporary setting. To do that in a creative way, there’s a lot of research and support involved. My thanks to Nakia Zavalla, Cultural Director of the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians for providing me with translations, and to the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History.
And a softness came from the starlight and filled me full to the bone.
William Butler Yeats
