'The central California coast, with its rugged beaches and kelp forests, draws
a lot of visitors for its scenic beauty. For the Chumash people, the coastline
means a lot more.
"Almost all the places people like to go to are our sacred sites," says Violet
Sage Walker, chairwoman of the Northern Chumash Tribal Council. "We've been
going there and praying and doing ceremony there for 20,000 years."
More than 7,000 square miles of ocean there could soon become the largest
national marine sanctuary in the continental U.S. It could also make history as
one of the first federal sanctuaries to be spearheaded by a Native American
tribe, part of a growing movement to give tribes a say over the lands and
waters that were once theirs.'
