 I can't hear you, Malibu. How are you ready to pow wow? Ladies and gentlemen, out of honor and respect on behalf of that beautiful Eagle Staff and all the tribal nations represented here today, we take it to Blue Star to start us off. It's grand intro time. Fancy Dancers, make your way up to the arena. We'll go fancy grass in the intraditional southern and traditional northern. Fancy Danters, out of honor and respect. The various team of human dancers you've seen here before us. So how about giving them a big round of applause? Big round of applause. Oh, thank you. You have your hunters, your gatherers, your ceremonial people, your caretakers, your boat makers we call Tumuls, or your boat maker that makes boats for a hunter. So in a village, it's like a co-op, like a co-operation. It's like the ones that go on the ocean to bring back fish, or they go to the islands to bring back the olvera shells, the koi, the money, because they really made the money on the islands. They would be kind of like the rich people that had the knowledge of the ocean and they could travel on the ocean. And our Tumuls, our boats, they were made out of redwood. Like a big log would wash up and we would split it into planks and then we would sew them together with us Fulton and our twang and then we would seal them with the Fulton, so the buoyancy. And we would make them in a way where you could put... When the Spaniards came by here, sometimes you see a boat that had two, three people or something that had 12 people, like 35 footers, 40 footers. And everybody's panelling out and they could read the Spaniards. But we had boats that carried cargo or stuff from the islands or sent to go out just to fish around the kelp. So you had the Tumul, the brotherhood of the Tumul, the people that were the boat people and brought all the ocean stuff. And then you had the hunters that would go out and they'd come back and they would share the meat with everyone. The hunters and gathers that harvested nuts, egg corns, black walnut, different plants, resources. They would bring food in and everybody would share together. The caretakers that took care of the kids or the elders that did their part. Everybody worked together and that's the kind of a working order that the village worked off of. Village, you would live where the surrounding resources was enough to sustain that village. You don't put a bunch of villages together when you only have one creek and waterway. So many deer and so many plants because you're going to use all the resources from that area. You would have another village down like where you guys are coming to different canyons. You would find different villages and different canyons because there was abundant resources in that area and fresh water. We're asking hair length company to do another friendship and bushy song. Here we go, Blue Star. Rock and roll. Beautiful songs being shared here today by Blue Star. For tradition in the spirit of our nation. A round of applause for our grandmothers. My name is Julie Tumamayet Stensley. I'm an island descendant. My father Vincent Tumamayet, the son of Cecilio Tumamayet and the grandson of Wanda Jesus Tumamayet. Our families come from Santa Cruz Island and Santa Rosa Island. From villages such as Swahil, La Ups, Nanuwani and Moshchal on Santa Cruz. And from the village of Hetchamon on Santa Rosa Island. Sahipaka once upon a time. Here on this beautiful island that we call Limu, meaning in the sea. You know it today at Santa Cruz Island. Mother Earth Hutash was out here. And as she had created many things here on the island she thought something was missing. So she went to a very special plant and she gathered some magic seeds. And she threw the seeds out into the earth here on the island. And pretty soon, up from the ground, up from this beautiful earth, grew these beautiful people. She gave them many gifts here and showed them how to live happily on this island. Well, her husband, Acha Oposh, the Skysnake. Today we know him as the Milky Way. He wanted to give the people a gift too, so he gave them the gift of fire by shooting a bolt of lightning to the ground. Well, the fires burned hot and they kept warm with these fires. And they cooked their food. The villages started to grow and grow and be populated with more and more children. Pretty soon, with all the noise from these children, Hutash was annoyed. And she decided that it was time for these people to move on and to move to another place. So she said to herself, I've got to think of some place to put these people. A different place, a place where they could spread out and be very happy. Well, the next morning, she gathered all the people up to a very high, high mountain. See what? Or as we know it today, Mount Diablo. And as she told the people to look, as they looked up into the sky across the ocean, they saw a beautiful, beautiful rainbow, which dojo. And she told them that that image was a rainbow bridge. And the rainbow bridge was going to take them to a new land that was very large and they could fill that with people. Well, as people started to climb over the bridge and cross over, many became very dizzy and very frightened because there was a mist and a fog below. They couldn't even see the ocean. Well, as they started falling off, crying out to Hutash for help, she took pity. And she changed them and transformed them into dolphins. And that is what we call our brothers and sisters today of the ocean, alakoy. Those people who crossed over on the bridge went to a place called Tizmuhu, where it steams out. Today we know that place is Carpinteria and the people came off that rainbow bridge and spread out into all these beautiful places on our mainland. And that is all.
