The region was home to a small local group that spoke an interior dialect called Castac Ventureño.

Research notes

Named in an unratified California treaty of 1851-52. People: Chumash (Castac / interior Ventureño). Hodge (1907) lists "Castake" only as one of the Kern-Tejon tribes. Far Western (Merriam) records "Tribe, Kas-tak (Chumash)" at Castac Lake; equation of treaty Castake with Castac is by name and place.
