I'm Chumash and I'm having a discovery of my secret culture. See I never knew I was native, but then my mother found her dad and he's native so ye. Know I shall uncover the rock which had been buried in time.
This guy in the video is a fraud and doesn't have a drop of chumash DNA and refused to show proof of his lineage. Experts traced his lineage and he has zero chumash DNA. So I'm gonna ask you again how did you find out you have "chumash DNA". because to make those claims you will have to prove your lineage. A lot of people claim to be chumash just like this guy that ate not chumash words are cheap any real chumash can easily show lineage like myself and all my cousins.
it's not your culture unless you're part of that culture, that's how culture works. this is literally the colonization of culture to claim it as your own when you probably don't even know a single Chumash tribe member, let alone grew up in it or live in it
yo ted talks with the amount of people calling this guy buy his real name and false identity I think it deserves to be taken down until further investigation???
He's a big phony .. hes been outed by the real chumash community and people dug up his bloodline and he originates from Mexico area and has no chumash blood. This is a well known thing in the chumash community he is not one of us.
This is my cousin and for those of you saying that he's just acting, he's not but if you choose to believe that then that's fine too. I won't argue to try and make you believe anything. We have done major digging and verifying of our relatives, to prove our bloodlines are true, and our ancestors and family are indeed chumash native to the land. We have a huge family and we are all still very much active in all things Chumash or native. We have ceremonies and gatherings and celebrate what we believe.
Lol no people have dug up his leaniage and he is not chumash hea been outed by the real chumash community his bloodline comes from Mexico area not chumash. When presented with the evidence he would show his so called "proof" him and all youa re a bunch of frąuds.. prove it then show us show all the people hard evidence then I know you won't cause you don't have it. I am chumash and can prove it to anyone .. this guy is a pretendian
only Chumash people can say if he is Chumash, and if they say he is not the he is not. it doesn't matter what kind of "digging" he did. and he shouldn't be a spokesperson for Chumash if they do not want him speaking for them. simple as that
I have a question, what is the Chumash word for Love as in a romantical man x woman relationship, I am Lakota born Jewish adopted, currently studying Native history, language, and culture, and am Majoring in History with a Minor in Native American Study, and want to know more about ALL Native cultures, Anyways Thanks! AND Have an AMAZING Day / Afternoon / Evening / Night WHEREVER YOU MAY BE & WHENEVER YOU READ THIS, WHOMEVER YOU MAY BE! CHEERS! :D
Yes even the native name for Santa Cruz Island is limuw which is similar to the Hawaiian word for the edible seaweed which grows in the ocean that we eat still today and not to mention the strikingly similar bone fish hooks Hawaiians and Polynesian used.
Thank you Mati, Chumash and anyone who cares about this environment should thank you. I have known since elementary school I was CHUMASH, CARPINTERIA AND SANJA COTA, WE ARE FAMILY AND I HAVE LOTS OF RESPECT FOR YOU. ONLY ADDRESS THE POSITIVE PEOPLE THE NEGATIVE WILL ONLY MAKE YOU NEGATIVE. YOU ARE A GOOD MAN.
He is a fake .. the real chumash have outed him .. he says he has proof but when asked to show it he won't and other did the research and his bloodline goes to Mexico he is not chumash.
@@babyraf4472no, not true. Especially the Chumash who were sooooo close to losing all heritage. The Chumash have literally resurrected there culture. If some family’s aren’t a Romero, Kahn, or Littlejohn lineage is hard to prove after the mission years. I’m Chumash through my grandmother who’s certified tribal but if I asked about her lineage she could only go so far. You’re so lame for these comments.
I cannot believe the disrespect from one Native to another. To depict what is authentic and what is not. So because they are California Native American they are not authentic. That is wrong with us Native people is that we continue to step on each other. And that is why we can’t move forward and strengthen our Nations. right away someone wants to say they Sundance or they are an enrolled member of a tribe they think they can talk down to another Native. As a Sundancer you know not to speak negative about another Native. Maybe someone needs to go back to their traditional teachings. Bottoms line bad medicine so sad
I don't see one comment saying that California natives aren't real natives. But the reason why me and many are mad at this guy is because eyes not chumash and pretending to be and profited of it. Last I heard they are look for him to take legal action against him
@@babyraf1692 Yeah dude is a fraud. Literally from Mexico region with no Chumash DNA. Even though he has raised money/brought attention he’s doing it for an unknown reason.
What the articles say, it may be rederick, pushed by counsel politics, somewhere. Maybe he shared, and it angered. Because in the chumash Christmas special in 2020, it depicted much of what is displayed here, along with conch trumpets. As somebody who spurred from a west coast nation, it was told to me, about the existence of trade between coast and inland, crafts of many shell formations.
you cant just call your self mati waiya….hmmm come on ted talks this should be investigated and taken down...this mans last name is rocha do some research he might be native but hes not chumash that's for sure...please don't take my comment down again ...

I found out that I am 27.1% native American a portion being of Chumash.
How did you find out it was chumash? ... dna doesn't specify what tribe you're from only region.
The DNA test i used only narrowed down to "Native Californian", not a specific people group. What DNA test did you use?
makes me want to crap a book on how to puke.
That's actually an old Chumash saying. Jay Johnston stole it.
