Marcus Lopez Sr. (Barbareno Band of the Chumash Nation) and Co-host and Executive Producer of American Indian Airwaves, joins us from ground zero of the recent Montecito, CA mudslides in the heart of the Chumash Nation. Marcus Lopez Sr. family’s land and homes were directly destroyed or damaged by the recent Montecito, CA -south of Santa Barbara, CA- mudslides and presently living without heat, potable water, gas, and electricity. The Lopez family’s land has been in the family since the 1800s.

Marcus Lopez Sr. provides an exclusive interview from his home, at ground zero of the Montecito, CA, detailing what happened the day of the mudslides, the massive destruction caused to three Lopez family homes built in the 1800s, the 20 lost lives, the addition 100 homes destroyed, the 300-plus homes damaged in the Montecito, CA area, and Marcus Lopez Sr. provides an in-depth history of Mother Earth in the area, an overall report on the aftermath of the Montecito mudslide, plus more. Due the old homes built on the property, the Lopez family has struggled over the decades to avoid having their homes condemned by the city and county for not having homes built to city and county building codes. Thus, housing and property insurance is difficult to possess in these circumstances (every insurances refuses to provide home insurance). The Lopez family is left to rebuild with little to no financial support.

For more information on how to financial help, please go to https://www.gofundme.com/d5pnsv-lopez-family-in-montecito-mudslide. The GoFundMe account is created and managed by a close Chumash community member and family friend of the Lopez family.

Presently, all roads in the area and the 101 Freeway are closed. Thus, nobody is capable leaving or entering the immediate vicinity.
