Land Acknowledgement (Los Angeles, CA)

While much of my work takes place across various regions around the United States, I want to specifically acknowledge Los Angeles and that much of my work occurs on the traditional lands of the Tongva (also referred to as Gabrieleño), Tataviam, & Chumash peoples. These lands, which include the Los Angeles Basin, were stolen from these Indigenous peoples through centuries of colonization.

The process of colonization, displacement, and systemic erasure continues to impact Indigenous Peoples today. These communities, their culture, and their connection to the land have persevered, despite the ongoing justice.
