9pm WEST OF THE WEST: Tales from Caligornia's Channel Islands - Documentary

Introduced by Joe Walsh of the legendary band The Eagles, and told from the view point of the native people who’ve inhabited and experienced the Channel Islands, the three-part documentary series WEST OF THE WEST: TALES FROM CALIFORNIA'S CHANNEL ISLANDS explores the history, geography, archaeology and biology of the eight islands off the California coast. Through interviews with a range of experts – including academics, archeologists, historians and natives — WEST OF THE WEST: TALES FROM CALIFORNIA'S CHANNEL ISLANDS provides an engaging portrait of each of the islands intimate personal history.

 

 
FIRST PEOPLE contains five stories detailing the islands' human history. It includes the story of the Chumash tribe, the first people who lived on the Channel Islands from 13,000 years ago through the 1800s. It also recounts how the California coast was explored by the Spanish in 1542, long before the English arrived in Massachusetts; and how the Channel Islands were once located next to San Diego, but over the millennia, plate tectonics 'rotated' them to their current location off Santa Barbara.  "
