Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians

Giving back to the community has always been a tradition of the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians. Our elders taught us many important lessons in life - including the fact that a distinguishing characteristic of the Chumash is our spirit of generosity. We call it 'amuyich.

Today, the Chumash tribe continues with our long-standing tradition of giving. Our tribe has reached out to hundreds of local groups, organizations and schools in the community by donating more than $13 million.

In 2005, the tribe took a significant step by establishing the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians Foundation. The goal of our Foundation is to make the community it serves a better place for all of its residents, placing particular value on activities and programs that expand opportunities for the least advantaged, protect our environment or enhance the lives of youth. We are proud to partner here with People Helping People to help local farm and vineyard workers.
