Yesterday, I joined the CA Tribal Chairpersons’ Association at the Tribal Leaders Forum to kick off the 58th Annual #CANativeAmericanDay.
CA is home to 109 tribes whose rich cultures, traditions, & contributions shape our state. Today & everyday, we celebrate their heritage & honor their legacy.

Visitors met our Tribal Liaisons, Crystal Blue (Miwok/Nisenan) & Amilia Bryan, & learned about grants + our work with #CaliforniaTribes.
"The Los Angeles basin is the center of the Tongva world. For the Chumash, Tataviam, Serrano, and Acjachemen, the Los Angeles region is a critical part of their territories..." @ucpress.bsky.social: www.ucpress.edu/books/we-are... #CANativeAmericanDay
