Lulapin is a place. It is the name for the mountain that enters the sea (today called Point Mugu) and the estuary region to the immediate west.  

Informant to John Peabody Harrington, Fernando Librado, said that the inland Indians used to come to the coast, so lulapin is a "dual work" to include the interior and coast Indians. This refers to a confederacy of people across language boundaries, which occured in a period of time -an epoch- likely a reformation previous to Spanish contact.

By "dual work," Fernando means the word is a combination: lula- comes from ’aluše’eš (badger,) referring to the inland people, and -pin, is a verb 'of movement along the coast,' referring to the islanders and coastal people.

Today, we wear the name Lulapin in the spirit of a big-tent Chumash organization dedicated to working well with the various Chumash bands, unaffiliated Chumash individuals and families, as well as our neighbors and friends.
