Aleqwel Mendoza and Marissa Velez are “most likely descendants” from Chumash villages along the Gaviota Coast, and they would like to have a more steady presence at Dos Pueblos Ranch in the future. But they are just a few of the stakeholders interested in shaping the future of this property, which includes the blufftop site of Mikiw, where they're standing here. | Credit: Macduff Everton
