I enjoyed this. I live in Oklahoma. We dislike eminent domain as well. 😥

Nice job. Thank you.

Just recently found out my great grandfather was Ventureño Chumash, I didn't even know what Ventureño Chumash was. There's not a lot of information about him he's long passed away. My family didn't even tell me about this heritage until recently. I still don't know much, there's not a lot of into online on Ventureño Chumash peoples. Eleanor was saying she was able to look up her lineage, anyone know any organizations or communities that have those records available that I could look into?

thats a real chumash name alan saladbar

Do you know where the coach line was located going south from the Soledad Mission to San Miguel, in the pre-railroad days. Did it go over the hills to Mission Antonio De Paula and then south via Jolon. Or did it follow what is now Hwy 101 via San Lucas and San Ardo. Neither of those villages apparently existed until the railroad reached their location. I've learned although there were land grant ranches there. One person told me it probably didn't go via De Paula since there is so little traffic there today. But of course back then you didn't get all the traffic between the Bay Area and Los Angeles. Also there is an old adobe with a historical marker near the top of the grade between King City to Mission Antonio. I was told it was an old stage station. Can you confirm that? Thanks

lovely

I love History happy hour

Loved your book and this talk.

Very interesting info RE: Early CA!! 🙂

Great details! I enjoyed it immensely! Cheers!

Why is the audience and himself laughing when he describes what was obviously Elder Financial Abuse of Ms Clark. ?

Thank you sooo much! Fascinating person!

I concur

Wonderful museum!

Loved the book “Empty Mansions” and so delighted to listen to this outstanding presentation by one of the two authors!

For those who are impatient, ..... the Author begins: @ 5:20 Just tap that Blue number ⬆️ and Enjoy!!! It is Excellent!

⭐ BTW, this Author's presentation is most enjoyable, and the content is appropriately "Priceless" ... ! She lived Independet and Free, even choosing her care when she could no longer be physically independent. That is everyone's Dream, is it not? ___________________________ This brings to mind, "each have the Opportunity" for Positive Abundance, it is a choice: 🔑 All have this opportunity, the "Universal Law of Attraction" is"Absolute". ... and it is the "How to" We each have a Choice, to Mind and Manage our: "Thoughts + Feelings X Beliefs" As these are the: "Energies X Vibrations = Frequency" These are what Attracts our Like Energy's Frequency: Our Frequency = Our Reality We Create 100% of All Our Experiences. This Law is the greater part of the Divine Design, relative to our 3D Experiences. It is here in the Physical and the Nonphysical. Never, ever, Judge, or be Judgemental, of Self or Others. DISCERN use Discernment rather than Judging. We never know the Life Journey Theme of Others, it's a challenge to grasp our own. The Divine/Infinite Intelligence/Creator/Source/God is involved in each and every Soul's Journey, and each and every Soul is Energy, of and from the Source/God. This is even found un the Texts of the Bible: ... and Yeshua/Jesus said: "the body is a Temple of God..." "Energy is Eternal, it can neither be created nor destroyed, it merely changes form." - Quantum Physics Science 🔺The "Lower Mind aka Ego Mind aka Adolescent Mind" is where all the negative thought energies reside: ("fear and fear based thoughts, prejudices, judging, hate, envy, jealousy, insecurities, anxieties, etc.", all are lower/dense energies.) The "Higher Mind aka Mature Mind" is where all Our Positive Thought Energies and Wisdom reside. Love and Joy are the Highesr Positive Energies (Fear is the Lowest, hate is even less dense than fear.) Each Soul Energy is of "1 Source", all are absolutely Equal. We can Ascend, rise up in our Energy Frequency while in this Human Vessel, and the ibvious attracting like Frequencies will result." Discovering this Law, understanding it and then Comprehending it, is like being given the 🔑 to iur Desired Life Journey Experiences. When Comprehended, you can Feel the Love of our Creator in that Comprehension, It feels Love, Security, Supported, and Value, you can Feel Your Self Worthiness. All are Worthy of the Dreams, of Total Wellbeing, Happiness, and Confidence. Every single Individual. That is Love, it speaks in feeling to my heart of "Love" .. Best Thoughts ...

... but Clark was actually more of a Corporatist. Capitalism serves the Consumer. He delt with Capitalism, as it was a means of controlling the venue of his profits, but he would have preferred Authoritarian Corporatism, as would DT.

My bloodline Salazar have been here for thousands of years! Unfortunately we've been pushed out of our homelands and then scattered around the 4 corners, but not only do the census numbers show us in great numbers, originally settling in Anahuac Mexica, we've migrated in all 4 directions! Down, up, left, right...the southwest has been our home, but you can find our indegenous footprint in Kanata, Turtle Island, Mesobrendia, and Atlantis. Our brothers over seas were the Saliac Merovinigans, of the lost tribe of Benjamin. Before the Romance era, before the concil of Nicea, before the Franks, Faramund, King Arthur and Marchomir to the Greeks, Lord Priam of Troy. This is how far the Salazar goes, all the way back to Egypt, Al Azar, Lazar of Bethanu. They were masons and mound builders who practiced Alchemy Magik and Sorcery to whats now considered Freemasonry. We are Giptanos, Gypsies to Al Azar, Azra El, the House of Lazarus, Osiris

My grandmother told me a story of how chumash rode the dolphins to the mainland from the Chanel island's,

You touched my Heart! With this story of the mission story and my great Grandmother and her Mother told me story's of working at the mission I am descendent of the Ward family I called Charlie cook uncle as well if any one knows history of the wards I'd love to hear about them

I am Winnie ward grandson , I know Charlie cook well, my father and Charlie were good childhood friends groing up in Newhall, piru love the old stories

So interesting! Thank you for the history of these great homes.

What a magical person. Thanks for archiving great indigenous story tellers.

I love this!

Born and raised in Ventura CA and I’ve always wondered about the history of the Chumash because you can’t see any traces of them there anymore.

I knew Grandfather Semu from his age 63. He sounded like a Hawaiian when he sang and played ukulele. He said Chumash were Polynesian.

Alan, if you're reading this you may end one of my cousins. My mother is of mitsqanaqan̓ (Ventureño)

It is so sad he do not remember meeting her and did nit have the chance to get to know her

Fascinating local history, and learned a lot about stagecoaches and early California.

I really enjoyed this history of the island. I'm 5th generation Santa Barbara, and I had no idea there was a ranch out there of such historical significance. What a great legacy you were born into. My grandparents also went to SBHS, graduated in 1931. They all may have known each other. :) Thank you for this great history.

Chumashan language family is ancient and beautiful! Thank you Matthew for all you have done to restore our languages to the people, and to our ancestors who had the vision to record and pass it down to us in one way or another. ❤

You should do a video of all of the SP depots in the state! SP was in my backyard almost in the city of Orange. Lots of history!

thank you

I was told my grandmother Margarita Lopez was full blooded Chumash. But her records were destroyed in a mission fire.

Thank you, Mr Salazar🎉

Updating, Chumas-Tong-va from East of East L.A. My grandparents on one side of the family started the City of Irwindale, the other grandparents were Chumas-Tong-va. My cousin Cindy Albitre is a leader of the Native American Tiat Society, Long Beach, California. An awesome family connection 🙏

Praise for the historical research this project achieved. My family heritage is of the Chumas-Tong-va Native people of Southern California. Due to the current government standards, we are restricted to be accepted into tribal representation. My heart is sad because our Ancestors are not forgotten. We are not EXTINCT...

We are called, homosapiens

Hi, really enjoyed your show on railroad history. maybe you can advise someone about the Bakersfield depot, take care

Thank you for this glimpse into the life of a strong lady. Lovely trip.

Our chumash ancestors are very similar to the Hawaii island natives there is some kind of connection here

Greetings to our cousins , im tongva, salinan. May our past relationships continue to stand on the lands that were our homes. Blessings.

Awesome

Could't get through the first 10 minutes. The intro is way too long and just filled with buzzwords. They are thanking family members who didn't want anything to do with her until they found out she wasn't leaving them any of her fortune. They even tried to take control of her and her money while she was alive through the court system, even though she was still mentally sharp. They couldn't even bother to visit her for decades until they found out they weren't getting anything. Then they swooped in. The way the author speaks of her and all the laughing about her and almost at her is most disrespectful. Couldn't get past 10 minutes.

I'm hearing so many Polynesian sounding words....could be a coincidence. Hawaiians had to relearn wayfaring and sailed to Tahiti on the Hokulea... This reminded me of that story :)

Thank you so much Alan. You represent your Chumash people so well. I love listening to you tell a story. It is your gift. I wish you health and a very long life. ❤

Excellent presentation. Fascinating look at the architecture and social setting of these two 'preeminent' Santa Barbara architects.

I hope there is a documentary on Hugette Clark. The story is so intriguing. Love your book Bill.
