Limuw | Patagonia | Robert Schwemmer
Every year, members of the Chumash community undertake a traditional tomol journey to their homeland in Limuw, now also known as Santa Cruz Island. "Paddling in, there's no other homecoming like that," says paddler Eva Pagaling.

From a raucous, awesome tour with my best friends #eel #eeltour to the beautiful mystical, Santa Cruz Island with the Chumash people. Embrace all of lifes experiences. Much honor to my brothers and sisters who pulled water in the Tomol this weekend. An amazing gathering to honor the ancestors, and the coming generations, and to sooth the spirit. #chumash #tomol #santacruzisland #limuw #californianative #indigenous
