In the year 1961, my grandma, Irene Valencia Cordero, was taken from the reservation after remarrying to a Caucasian. She passed away in September 1963.
I hear Kenneth Kahn say he remembers getting powdered milk and other rations. I remember Grandma growing her own vegetables and raising chickens and rabbits. There was nothing given to her.
It's been known that Kahn goes to special events and always brings a check. What saddens my heart is why he doesn't help his own people. We are branded as the Coastal Band and are not recognized as part of the sovereign nation. We are Chumash.
