This month’s meeting features John Johnson, Curator of Anthropology at the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History. Professor Johnson teaches a course on California Indians at UCSB and will summarize what has been learned recently about California prehistoric population movements as revealed by the distribution of mitochondrial DNA lineages
His career has been devoted to understanding the culture and history of the Chumash Indians and their neighbors in south central California. He has published more than 80 studies regarding this work and works collaboratively with California Indians to recover and preserve information about their past including a study of Chumash marriage and family patterns traced through Spanish mission registers.
