Garden Director Victoria Sork and Manager of Outreach and Education Chantal Ochoa-Clark met with Adolfo Guzman-Lopez of LAist to discuss the Tongva Basket Weaving Garden, planted by local members of the Gabrielino-Tongva tribe. Sork stated the Basket Weaving Garden is important in not only “mak[ing] everyone feel welcome, but [also] mak[ing] sure the Native people understand that … this is part of their history and future.”
The UCLA Mathias Botanical Garden acknowledges the Gabrielino/Tongva peoples as the traditional land caretakers of Tovaangar (the Los Angeles basin and So. Channel Islands). As a promoter of nature at a California land grant institution, we pay our respects to the Honuukvetam (Ancestors), ‘Ahiihirom (Elders) and ‘Eyoohiinkem (our relatives/relations) past, present and emerging.
