As part of our Land Stewardship work at TTPC, we invite community members to Huhuunga once per quarter for a Volunteer Education Day.

These hands-on learning experiences provide the opportunity to learn more about removing invasive species, strengthening wildfire resilience, and restoring the native ecosystem.

We are grateful to the 58 volunteers that showed up to learn and tend to the land. We appreciate you!

And a special thank you to our funder California Fire Foundation for making Volunteer Education Days possible through their support.

We are reaching out to Gabrielino/Tongva and American Indian community members in the greater Los Angeles County region to learn more about cultural programming experiences, interests, and needs. This input is invaluable to guiding the TTPC in developing programming that honors the community.

We will host listening sessions throughout Summer. Each session and conversation will be facilitated by Dr. Jackie Kaslow, DrPH, MPH, Miwok, Nissenan, Pit River. There is a cap of ten participants per session.

At Huhuunga, all are welcome, and tasked with coming in a good way.

Since 2022, we've hosted more than 45 community events that cultivate space for Native people and neighbors alike to gather, learn, and grow together.

This weekend, we met on the land for Altadena Neighbors Coffee to share our connections to the local area, Huhuunga, and each other.

Thank you to everyone who was able to attend! We hope that you'll join us for a future gathering.

An essential part of our work to steward land and uplift culture in Tovaangar is gathering in ceremony to honor the changing of seasons, the land, and one another.

Last weekend, we marked the completion of our first year-long ceremonial cycle at Huhuunga with a meaningful Summer Solstice Ceremony.

We are deeply grateful to our relatives who showed up in a good way to honor our ancestors, each other, and this sacred place.

Our one acre site in Altadena is named Huhuunga, which means "Place of the Bears."

In 2022, Huhuunga became the first residential property voluntarily returned to Tongva stewardship in nearly 200 years. It now serves as a sacred space for all to gather, practice culture, and strengthen their relationship with the land.

We are grateful to be accompanied on our journey by our plant and animal relations and are constantly reminded of their deep lessons: strength, resilience, renewal, and healing. We invite you to continue following our journey as we honor the animals at Huhuunga.
