The word Chumash has been translated as "shell people" or "bead maker" - both are possible if the beads in question were made of sea shells.
However, in the recorded Samala/Inezeño Chumash language the word for abalone shell is t'aya; mussel shell is t'o'. In fact the word Chumash originally onlyreferred to the occupants of Limuw, Santa Cruz Island, who spoke their own dialect.
