  • Natural History Museum Unveils Portrait of Juana María, the Lone Woman of San Nicolas Island
    Media Contact: Briana Sapp Tivey Director of Marketing and Communications Email: [email protected] Phone: 805-682-4711 ext. 117 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Natural History Museum Unveils Portrait of Juana María, the Lone Woman of San Nicolas Island Local Artist Holli Harmon Creates Likeness Based on First-Hand Accounts Santa Barbara, California (February 21, 2018) — The Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History recently unveiled a historically accurate portrait of Juana María, the Lone Woman of San Nicolas Island. Fictionalized as “Karana” in Scott O’Dell’s novel Island of the Blue Dolphins, she was a real person who lived by herself on San Nicolas Island. Accidentally left behind in 1835, when the last of the native inhabitants were conveyed to the mainland at the request of the Santa Barbara Mission priests, she resourcefully caught her own food, made her own clothes, and built her own shelter for 18 years. In 1853, Carl Dittman and sea otter hunter Captain George Nidever found the woman alive and well. She willingly returned to the mainland on his ship, living with Nidever’s family in Santa Barbara for only seven weeks before she tragically fell ill and died. The Lone Woman was conditionally baptized with the name Juana María and buried at the Santa Barbara Mission. Harmon’s piece is the first painting to be based on historical records. Most representations of Juana María to date have been based on the romantic image popularized in O’Dell’s book. A research team including archaeologist Steve Schwartz, historian Susan Morris, and Museum Curator of Anthropology John Johnson supplied local artist Holli Harmon with historically accurate descriptions of the Lone Woman.

  • Birds on San Clemente Island, As Part of Our Work Toward the Recovery of the Island’S Endangered Species
    WESTERN BIRDS Volume 36, Number 3, 2005 THE BIRDS OF SAN CLEMENTE ISLAND BRIAN L. SULLIVAN, PRBO Conservation Science, 4990 Shoreline Hwy., Stinson Beach, California 94970-9701 (current address: Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology, 159 Sapsucker Woods Rd., Ithaca, New York 14850) ERIC L. KERSHNER, Institute for Wildlife Studies, 2515 Camino del Rio South, Suite 334, San Diego, California 92108 With contributing authors JONATHAN J. DUNN, ROBB S. A. KALER, SUELLEN LYNN, NICOLE M. MUNKWITZ, and JONATHAN H. PLISSNER ABSTRACT: From 1992 to 2004, we observed birds on San Clemente Island, as part of our work toward the recovery of the island’s endangered species. We increased the island’s bird list to 317 species, by recording many additional vagrants and seabirds. The list includes 20 regular extant breeding species, 6 species extirpated as breeders, 5 nonnative introduced species, and 9 sporadic or newly colonizing breeding species. For decades San Clemente Island had been ravaged by overgrazing, especially by goats, which were removed completely in 1993. Since then, the island’s vegetation has begun recovering, and the island’s avifauna will likely change again as a result. We document here the status of that avifauna during this transitional period of re- growth, between the island’s being largely denuded of vegetation and a more natural state. It is still too early to evaluate the effects of the vegetation’s still partial recovery on birds, but the beginnings of recovery may have enabled the recent colonization of small numbers of Grasshopper Sparrows and Lazuli Buntings. Sponsored by the U. S. Navy, efforts to restore the island’s endangered species continue—among birds these are the Loggerhead Shrike and Sage Sparrow.

  • Some Observations on the Material Culture of the Nicoleño
    SOME OBSERVATIONS ON THE MATERIAL CULTURE OF THE NICOLEÑO STEVEN J. SCHWARTZ Environmental Programs Office, Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division, Code 52F000E, Point Mugu, CA 93042-5049; [email protected] Abstract—First hand accounts from a variety of sources were brought together to describe the material culture associated with Juana Maria, the ‘Lone Woman of San Nicolas Island’. Structures with wooden pole or whale bone frameworks and covered with brush were found in association with the Lone Woman. A first hand description is available of the process the Lone Woman used to seal a woven water bottle with asphaltum. Other items found and used by the Lone Woman included a basket with straps that she used for transporting items, pole structures for drying meat, a bag made of grass, a garment made of cormorant feathers, and various other tools and ornaments. These glimpses of the material culture of the Nicoleño provide an interesting insight into their culture and lifestyle. Keywords: ethnohistory, Gabrielino, history, Juana Maria, ‘Lone Woman’, Nicoleño, San Nicolas Island INTRODUCTION simply state that she was mistakenly left behind when the ship sailed away in light of a storm.

  • Distribution and Morphology of Eelgrass (Zostera Marina L.) at the California Channel Islands
    DISTRIBUTION AND MORPHOLOGY OF EELGRASS (ZOSTERA MARINA L.) AT THE CALIFORNIA CHANNEL ISLANDS JOHN M. ENGLE1 AND KATHY ANN MILLER2 1Marine Science Institute, University of California, Santa Barbara, CA 93106; [email protected] 2Wrigley Marine Science Center, University of Southern California, 1 Big Fisherman Cove, Avalon, CA 90704 ABSTRACT—Benthic studies at the California Channel Islands have focused on rocky reef kelp forests, leaving nearshore soft-bottom communities relatively unexplored. At the islands, eelgrass (Zostera marina) meadows occur in habitats that are deeper and sandier than the muddy bays and estuaries where Zostera is typically found along the mainland. Eelgrass meadows are ecologically important for primary production, nutrient cycling, and substrate stabilization. They provide shelter and food for a unique assemblage of organisms, including juvenile fishes. Since 1979, survey cruises by the Channel Islands Research Program have documented Zostera beds at 37 sheltered or semi-sheltered locations at six of the eight islands (not San Miguel or Santa Barbara), with the most extensive meadows at Santa Catalina, Santa Cruz, and Santa Rosa islands. Eelgrass occurred at depths ranging from 3–22 m; however, inter-site variability was high, with shallow limits likely determined by swell disturbance and deep limits by light penetration. Beds sampled repeatedly appear to be stable over annual to decadal periods, except at Anacapa Island where nearly all eelgrass disappeared during the 1980’s coincident with increased abundance of white urchins (Lytechinus pictus). Two locations at Santa Catalina Island were colonized in recent years. Zostera leaves at the four cooler-water, northwesterly islands were substantially wider (12–16 mm) than those at the two warmer-water southeasterly islands (2–10 mm).

  • A Report on the Birds of San Nicolas Island
    July, 1947 16.5 A REPORT ON THE BIRDS OF SAN NICOLAS ISLAND By EGMONT Z. RETT Through the kindness of Rear Admiral A. D. Bernhard of the United States Navy, the writer together with Mr. Phil C. Orr of the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History were permitted to work on San Nicolas Island in the spring and fall of 1945. San Nicolas Island is the most distant of the Channel Islands of southern California. It is situated about 70 miles due south of Carpinteria, Santa Barbara County. The island is 81/s miles long and about 4 miles wide. It is 907 feet high at the highest point and has somewhat the form of a plateau. It is in the belt of the westerly trade wind and consequently the wind blows hard most of the year. Vegetation is sparse. The greater portion of the western half of San Nicolas is barren rock and shifting sand. The rather flat top of the eastern half and some of the less steep slopes are covered for the most part with foxtail grass (Hordeurn murinum), bur clover (&fed&go h&pida) , and filaree (Erodium cicutarium) . There are scattered patches of bush lupine (Lupinus a2bifrolas) and in the canyons, washes and other places, more or less protected from the wind, are found prickly pear cactus (Opuntia) and coyote brush (Baccharis pilularis) . We arrived on the island on March 7, 1945. We were furnished with a jeep for transportation some of the time, and in that way covered the island almost completely. We drove over ground that was covered with rocks and loose sand and which would have been impassable in any other wheeled conveyance.
