How did the chumash Indians get their food and clothes?

Answer 1

For fun, the Chumash tribe held gatherings of tribal members where they told stories and played simple games. Children also often played games where they imitated their elders. In most cases, things that were fun also served as teaching tools for the children.

Answer 2

It is a very well known fact that this tribe often hijacked Chinese junks using their dicks as swords and stole the chiese harpoons and harpooned the Chinese and ate them. If that didn't fill them up they would spear whales off deck with their 10ft long wangs and, cut off their testes and penis and consume them raw with sperm added for flavouring.

This is all true.

Acorn Pancakes

Tribal Affiliation: Chumash Santa Ynez Band/Luiseno/tachi Yokuts and Tongva

Offered by Onokok Qilikutayuwit ... who learned this from family recipe

Ingredients:

* 2 handfuls of Valley Oak acorns

* 2 cups pancake mix, use liquid ingredients per box directions

* cinnamon

* vanilla /Almond extract

* sugar

Cooking instructions

Gather acorns in Nov-Dec. Crack acorns open take out meat. Put meat into a grinder and grind until like flour consistency. Leach this ground acorn mix by running through hot water until water runs clean. Add this to your other ingredients. Cook just like pancakes.

Note: leaching is a must, because the acorns have Tannic acids in them, so please rinse thoroughly. Store freshly cracked acorns in freezer until next use, leach as you go.

Sagebrush Tea

Ingredients:

* Sagebrush (at least a handful)

* Water (a potful)

Cooking Instructions:

Rinse the sagebrush if you like, then put it in the boiling water.

The longer it boils the stronger it gets. You can add more water or let it get concentrated. This is used for colds and other ailments- it brings out the sweat in a person. If you are a wimp (like me) you can add sugar.

This is sagebrush, and not sweet sage (although sweet sage tea is used for ailments also) - use the stems and all. Many folks sell sagebrush in a stick for "smudging"- our tribe seldom (if ever) smudges with sagebrush - we use sweet sage.

Sagebrush is excellent for medicinal purposes. If you don't have sagebrush growing near you - you could probably use part of one of those "smudge" sticks.
