Visiting the Chumash village was so amazing, from driving up as they sang to us and the heart felt goodbyes and everything in between. We slept in tule huts, similar to ones my own people made. There was an elders ceremony we had on Saturday and it had gone on for so long that after it ended I just when to my hut and fell on the sand and slept without even touching my sleeping bag.

The entire experience was simply a powerful one. I loved all the songs and the people there truly made it feel like home.
