Welcome to the Media Room for the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians. Our tribe is committed to strengthening the connection with our community by sharing information about our tribe and the many wonderful activities that take place on our Reservation.

We believe that it’s important for us to provide our tribal perspective on all issues concerning tribal government and gaming on Native American reservations. Our goal is to educate media representatives about our tribal community.

In this section of the website, we have compiled facts and figures that are easy to access with a quick click of a button. We have also included a “Dispelling the Myths of Indian Gaming” piece that is excerpted from our brochure, “Our Tribal Community.” In addition, we’ve included a few newsclips that help tell the story of the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians.
