Chumash Tribe still in talks for major development
Tuesday, October 5, 2004
The Santa Ynez band of Chumash Indians is still working on a major development even though the project has fallen out of escrow, a spokesperson said.
The tribe is talking with "Davy Crockett" actor Fess Parker to buy 745 acres. The land would be used for housing, a resort and a golf course.
Local residents are opposed to the project. They don't want land in their backyard to be considered a reservation.
