haku Frank,
a Chumash 'hello' from Central California.
a post by "odocoileus", found through a google search, led me here in my beginnings of explorations of the origins of the Chumash people, as well as comments by "oevega", and a Chumash DNA news story posted by "Salsassin".
looking forward to learning much, and sharing the little I know of Jomon, Maori, Chumash and other early oral, artistic, artifactual 'her=stories' ...

I am very glad I found this forum. After researching various elements of Anglo/mestizo intermarriage, Mexican immigration to the US and attitudes towards color and economic class in both Mexico and the United States, I've felt a lot of heat over the last six months and not seen very much light. I've now read many threads here, and I think I've learned more on some subjects in a couple of days than I had in the previous six or eight weeks.
I appreciate this forum's strong moderated tone, in all senses of the word. Although every forum (online or not) attracts its share of angry and unreasonable opinion, it feels here as if I could ask sincere questions and receive honest answers without my motives and personal background automatically being attacked even if I may have started from mistaken premises. I want to learn and listen and open my own mind instead of constantly battling through the thickets of political advocacy and bias to find the facts, whether I personally agree with that advocacy or not.
