Awesome tribute to our Ancestors... Although the in fighting is key to lack of federal recognition, we Southern California Native people need to unite as One Native Indigenous People. Our Ancestors did not have a choice for their outcome... Yes, thank you for the fine documentation of the treatment towards our Ancestors. I pray 🙏 our future is held as a blessing for what we stand for. Stop the B/s and forgive our oppesors,,, both from WITH-IN AND OUT OF OUR NATIVE WORLD. THIS IS A WORLD WIDE PROBLEM. WAKE UP AND RESPECT OUR LINEAGE...

Hiii. . . I moved back here recently with a family member. . In the suburbs. . (Gabrielleno/Tongva area) My heart is with you. . . . With the land, the waters and your people. .

Tho I use the name Tongva alot... My grandmother, (who's grandmother is the woman in the chair, Narcissa HIGUERA Rosemeyer) she never, never used the word tongva! She also died with the belief in her heart that they stole our land and gave us a roll number! I was raised by her and heard the stories of their past. Her sisters and her mothers stories! I'm so SO proud of you all. I know I'll die as she did, wanting Federal recognition from a government that DOESN'T care and other indigenous brothers and sisters who don't want to share.

I wrote incorrectly.. Narcissa is my grandmothers grandmother.. Wanted to be clear! Also I've NEVER done a DNA test BUT .... My granddaughter (who's named after Narcissa) DID and she's 17% California indigenous and much of it is Mexican indigenous! Don't KNOW if that matters! To me is doesn't.
