  • Chumash Ritual and Sacred Geography on Santa Cruz Island, California
    UC Merced Journal of California and Great Basin Anthropology Title Chumash Ritual and Sacred Geography on Santa Cruz Island, California Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/0z15r2hj Journal Journal of California and Great Basin Anthropology, 27(2) ISSN 0191-3557 Author Perry, Jennifer E Publication Date 2007 Peer reviewed eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California Journal of California and Great Basin Anthropology | Vol, 27, No, 2 (2007) | pp. 103-124 Chumash Ritual and Sacred Geography on Santa Cruz Island, California JENNIFER E. PERRY Department of Anthropology, Pomona College, Claremont, CA 91711 In contrast to the archaeological visibility of Chumash rock art on the mainland, its virtual absence on the northern Channel Islands is reflective of what little is understood about ritual behavior in island prehistory. By relying on relevant ethnohistoric and ethnographic references from the mainland, it is possible to evaluate how related activities may be manifested archaeologically on the islands. On Santa Cruz Island, portable ritual items and rock features have been identified on El Montahon and the North Ridge, the most prominent ridgelines on the northern islands Citing material correlates of ritual behavior, intentionally-made rock features are interpreted as possible shrines, which were an important aspect of winter solstice ceremonies among the mainland Chumash. Portable ritual items and possible shrines are considered in the context of sacred geography, revealing aspects of how the Chumash may have interacted with the supernatural landscape of Santa Cruz Island. andscapes are imbued with different attributes and Conception and Mount Pinos (as examples of the former) Llvalues; whether economic, aesthetic, recrea­ to sweatlodges and rock sites (as examples of the latter) tional, spiritual, or otherwise, these values intersect, (Grant 1965; Haley and Wilcoxon 1997,1999).

  • Tribal Marine Protected Areas: Protecting Maritime Ways And
    EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The White Paper entitled Tribal Marine Protected Areas: Protecting Maritime Ways and Practice published by the Wishtoyo Foundation (Ventura County, Santa Barbara) in 2004 describes the ecological and cultural significance of south-central California’s marine environment as a suitable area to establish new marine protected areas or MPAs. Tribal MPAs can be one tool for tribal people to co-manage and protect important submerged Chumash cultural sites and coastal marine ecosystems. The Chumash people lived in villages along the south-central California coast from the present day sites of Malibu to Morro Bay and extended to the northern Channel Islands. The Chumash reference for the northern Channel Islands are Tuqan (San Miguel), Wi’ma (Santa Rosa), Limuw (Santa Cruz) and Anyapax (Anacapa). Limuw means “in the sea is the meaning of the language spoken” while Chumash villages were named after the sea, such as Mikiw or “the place of mussels”. Evidence of Chumash village sites and tomol routes show an intimate relationship with the culture, sea and northern Channel Islands. The map below shows the villages and tomol routes within the greater Chumash bioregion. The varied maritime culture was diverse and depended on the rich array of animals and plants. Many animals, such as the swordfish, played a central role in Chumash maritime song, ceremony, ritual and dance. The Chumash people were heavily dependent on a healthy marine environment; the marine component of the Chumash diet consisted of over 150 types of marine fishes as well as a variety of shellfish including crabs, lobsters, mussels, abalone, clams, oysters, chitons, and other gastropods.

  • Geologic Hazards
    Burned Area Emergency Response (BAER) Assessment FINAL Specialist Report – GEOLOGIC HAZARDS Thomas Fire –Los Padres N.F. December, 2017 Jonathan Yonni Schwartz – Geomorphologist/geologist, Los Padres NF Introduction The Thomas Fire started on December 4, 2017, near the Thomas Aquinas College (east end of Sulphur Mountain), Ventura County, California. The fire is still burning and as of December 13, 2017, is estimated to have burned 237,500 acres and is 25% contained. Since the fire is still active, the BAER Team analysis is separated into two phases. This report/analysis covers a very small area of the fire above the community of Ojai, California and is considered phase 1 (of 2). Under phase 1 of this BAER assessment, 40,271 acres are being analyzed (within the fire parameter) out of which 22,971 acres are on National Forest Service Lands. The remaining 17,300 acres are divided between County, City and private lands. Out of a total of 40,271 acres that were analyzed, 99 acres were determined to have burned at a high soil burn severity, 19,243 acres at moderate soil burn severity, 12,044 acres at low soil burn severity and 8,885 acres were unburned. All of the above acres including the unburned acres are within the fire parameter. This report describes and assesses the increase in risk from geologic hazards within the Thomas Fire burned area. When evaluating Geologic Hazards, the focus of the “Geology” function on a BAER Team is on identifying the geologic conditions and geomorphic processes that have helped shape and alter the watersheds and landscapes, and assessing the impacts from the fire on those conditions and processes which will affect downstream values at risk.

Answer 2: Snowflakes form when water vapor travels through the air and condenses on a _____. All About Tornadoes! A strong tornado’s winds can pick up massive objects like trucks and drop them many miles away. It is difficult to measure the winds in a tornado directly, though. Because of this, tornadoes are evaluated by the amount of damage they cause. What tool do meteorologists use to measure the intensity of a tornado? Follow the link to find out and fill in the missing word below! Go to: Tornadoes Answer 3: The ______ ______ scale is a tool meteorologists use to measure the intensity of a tornado based on damage.

  • Mediterranean Firestorm, Are Extreme Wildfires a Specular Aspect of Floods?
    Plinius Conference Abstracts Vol. 12, Plinius12-57 12th Plinius Conference on Mediterranean Storms Corfu Island Greece, September 2010 © Author(s) 2010 Mediterranean Firestorm, are extreme wildfires a specular aspect of floods? P. Fiorucci, L. Molini, and A. Parodi CIMA Research Foundation, Italy (paolo.fi[email protected]) Severe weather and rainfall extremes predictors are a long standing issue for risk mitigation and civil protection purposes, analogously this work is focused on finding precursors for extreme wildfires throughout Mediterranean regions. Mediterranean storm are usually related with extreme precipitation and consequent floods. In this paper we propose to consider extreme wildfires in the Mediterranean as a specular aspect of “traditional” Mediterranean storms. Floods are related with soil moisture conditions, vegetation cover and topography but the main driver is represented by extreme precipitation. Rainfall is well evident in its happening. Nevertheless, the necessity of measuring it has become fundamental since the implementation of instruments needed to prevent floods. Wildfires are usually considered as the complex results of several heterogeneous aspects. Many peculiarities make Mediterranean wildfires different from other natural risk, fire ignition, human caused in more than 90% of fire occurrences, being the most evident. Fire spread and fire damages are related with vegetation cover, topography, moisture content and wind conditions but also with the ability to cope with the fire front. In the international literature all these aspects are considered to define tools able to predict and manage wildfire risk. Strong winds and high temperature are often considered as the main drivers in extreme wildfire risk conditions. Strong winds are usually associated also to floods event during Mediterranean storm but in this case it is evident it doesn’t the main driver.
