Rancho Los Alamitos Povuu’ngna Event




On Sunday, June 13 the Rancho Los Alamitos Historic site presented "Come Home to Povuu'nga." The Povuu'nga is the sacred place of emergence of the Gabrielino/Tongva people of the Los Angeles basin. Artists, dancers, storytellers and members of the Tongva communities engaged attendees with exhibits on California native foods and cultural materials, and ancestral storytelling, dance, music and games that evoked the spirit of Mother Earth. The fun afternoon was filled with sand painting, a live raptor exhibit and sample tastings of wiiwiish, chia seed and yucca blossom.
