Farm

Through Time and Space … One Continuum

The Northern Chumash Tribal Council is looking at self sustainability through working within the community. NCTC has leased land to start Chumash Farms, our organic farm. Chumash Farms operates an all natural farm utilizing the most advanced agricultural process – greenhouse aeroponics – growing plants in air. These modern methods use less that 10% of the water and land used in typical farms.

The future of farming is here and we hope to establish a teaching farm to advance Eco-friendly, natural agriculture here and around the globe.

The Northern Chumash Tribal Council will be self-reliant through agriculture and businesses in our community and not from a casino. NCTC is not looking for Federal recognition, we are not waiting for anyone to give us anything. We understand that if we work together with common goals we will be able to achieve our vision.

Tomol

The Barbarenos Chumash Council of Santa Barbara has recently started making the crossing between Ventura and Santa Cruz Island 26 miles, back to our home. The crossing is done in our Tomol – a planked canoe 32 feet long. This vessel is tied together with native twine using no nail, ribs, or rivets. These journeys have brought our Chumash Community together in spirit and community. We are working together and we are healing ourselves and our community.

Water is in all things, water is ancient, its birth is in the stars. The Chumash understand that the water is in everything and is the force of life. Water is the communicator of life. Water is the most incredible essence in the Universe, respect it, protect it, and drink it.
