Georgiana Sanchez: When Chumash oars stirred the Santa Barbara Channel in 2004 for only the second time in at least 150 years, Georgiana Sanchez was there. The American Indian Studies lecturer since 1986, who received her bachelor's (1985) and master's (1992) degrees from CSULB, participated in a re-creation of the tribe's maritime history when a Chumash plank canoe cut through the waters of Santa Barbara Channel and offered a salute with raised paddles to a crowd of several hundred cheering onlookers.
