The Chumash were organized into small, semi-nomadic bands or tribes, each centered around specific villages along the California coast and inland regions. Their society was matrilineal, with lineage and inheritance traced through the mother. Each village had a chief, or "tata," who led and made decisions for the community, and social structures were supported by a complex system of trade and resource sharing. The Chumash also had a rich cultural tradition, including sophisticated craft production and spiritual practices.
