ard Wot. According to several
Ventureño rock paintings, it is
said that were it not for Lizard
the hands of humans would be
shaped like a coyote paw instead
of the five fingers similar to those
of Lizard.
The orange spirit is the Grand-
father spirit who carries a staff
of hawk’s feathers and healing
medicine. The red spirit is the art-
ist spirit who plays a flute which
creates the sky. The music opens
the Milky Way and the stars as
the song floats from one horizon
to the next.
The yellow Sun spirit sits
on top of the other spirits. Her
headdress represents the rays of
the sun and the path of the sun
throughout the seasons. Like the
spirit Wot and Moon spirit, she
carries a child in her womb. The
mural also shows the sun, moon,
and the Milky Way.
The mural is a colorful addi-
tion to the East Village of Cambria
that serves to remind visitors of
the Chumash tribe. The mural is
located on the front of the post
office at 4100 Bridge Street in
Cambria.

The tomol is the traditional
Chumash canoe. The Chumash
had many tomol fleets, and this
enabled them to share, fish, and
travel. Inspired by a Cuyama rock
painting, Khus included a danc-
ing spirit in abalone on the bow
of the boat.
Behind the tomol crew is a
drawing of four tomol paddlers.
This is a partial translation of a
rock painting from Cuyama. Just
ahead of the tomol is the sword-
fish or ‘elye’wun. Khus combined
elements from many different
rock paintings to create the
‘elye’wun. The bill of the sword-
fish touches the navy-blue spirit
Wot. She carries a staff to signify
her position as a leader, and she
also carries a child in her womb.
The Spirit Wot was translated
from a rock painting in Cuyama.
The lighter blue spirit next to her
is the moon spirit with a head-
dress of a crescent moon. She is
also pregnant with a child. The
moon spirit was translated from a
Canaliño rock painting.
The green spirit next to the
moon spirit is the spirit Liz-
