​On June 10, we will gather at Kuruvungna Village Springs to learn from the Gabrielino-Tongva about their ancestral and ongoing land stewardship. We will share lunch and hold an open discussion centered on the work and priorities of our Indigenous and community partners, and explore what mutual aid and solidarity looks like in the context of the Kuruvungna Springs.

We offer our deep gratitude to the Gabrielino-Tongva stewards of Kuruvungna Village Springs for welcoming us and generously sharing their space, time, and knowledge.
