The Chumash tribe, particularly those from the area around Mission Santa Inés, experienced significant changes due to Spanish colonization. While exact numbers can vary, it is estimated that around 800 Chumash people were associated with Mission Santa Inés at its peak. Many were baptized and participated in mission activities, which had lasting impacts on their culture and community. However, mission records can be inconsistent, making precise figures difficult to ascertain.
Mission Santa Barbara was the 3rd mission on the land of the Chumash people. The Native Americans that lived at the mission were called Barbarinos.

The tribe associated with the Santa Barbara Mission was the Chumash people. The Chumash inhabited the coastal regions of Southern California, including the area around Santa Barbara, long before the arrival of Spanish missionaries. The Santa Barbara Mission, established in 1786, aimed to convert and assimilate the Chumash and other local indigenous groups into Spanish colonial society. The mission's influence significantly impacted the Chumash culture and population.
