Upcoming Events
Ohlone peoples inhabited what we now know as the Bay Area for thousands of years. ‘Ohlone’ is a loose term used to name the dozens of indigenous groups, with distinct dialects, that have lived and given to this land before European invasion. We honor and pay respect to their elders and descendants — past, present, and emerging — as they continue their stewardship of these lands and waters. We are grateful to have the opportunity to live and work on these ancestral lands.
The County of Los Angeles recognizes occupies land originally and still inhabited and cared for by the Tongva, Tataviam, Serrano, Kizh, and Chumash Peoples. We honor and pay respect to their elders and descendants — past, present, and emerging — as they continue their stewardship of these lands and waters. We acknowledge that settler colonization resulted in land seizure, disease, subjugation, slavery, relocation, broken promises, genocide, and multigenerational trauma. This acknowledgment demonstrates our responsibility and commitment to truth, healing, and reconciliation and to elevating the stories, culture, and community of the original inhabitants of Los Angeles County. We are grateful to have the opportunity to live and work on these ancestral lands.
