I am descended from members of the Anza Expedition. I am also 20% Chumash.
Their people are in the South Pacific 🇹🇴
Excellent. I'm a 68 year old Native Angelino and I have seen and researched the Anza trail. Thank you.
Please take the lone woman off your video.She is not Chumash.She has been my hero since I was 10 .Her story is still being told.The Nicolonians story is tragic.That is the only picture of her and the only picture of a Nicolonian Native.😢😢😢😢

Eye opening!!! Thanks!
I am Tataviam! Village of Tujubit!
I wish we could reconnect with Mother Nature rather than close it off with concrete jungles.
Wants to learn more about Kayaking in the river!!!
I live in the San Gabriel Valley and to know what happened to them and how they were enslaved, murdered and raped, not only physically,but culturally and religiously is so sad. The very ground I walk on was their land.
I love this ❤
Thanks for helping out and cleaning up after the businesses that pillaged the river.
Great share, Thanks! @NL
Very beautiful landscape & a good message.
Cool. glad ot see Hyper was involved in making this video too *grin*
❤ Jerry has smile now cry later on his knees. Someone controlled my phone. Be safe.
'california' hosted the largest population in a non agriculture setting ever,and they did so very peacefully. This is no small feat, and the amount of wisdom, compassion, and technique of these peoples is not to be underestimated
Beautiful ❤

On the bluff here there is an old Adobe..there isan open space set aside for future..and some useful idiot.try to paved a turn around in this untouched space...they were voted out not only did they disrespect the open space, they disregarded and ignored their voters..See how the disrespectfulness completed a circle and those were ousted from the position of leadership... Ha Ha Ha
Make me cry. What a beautiful moment to make that journey again after so long. ❤️
♥️
super cool

Happiness is watching this ❤
I wish the commentators had some interest in history and interest in understanding the reasons Spain had in settling Alta California. Wasteful comments, wasteful video.
Wasn't it just to colonize?
Here’s an idea 💡 Goat Yoga along the L.A. River ! 🐐🙏🧡
You gonna be out in Bell, california doing this anytime? ??
I have memories of this one scene with the disfigured teddy bear stuck in the branches I think, this has resonated with me for years. You guys don’t have any idea what kind of an impact these videos have, or maybe you do.
In my third grade class years ago, this video changed my life. Might have been the year it was released, though I’m in the 9’th now.
I found this video searching the term Tongva on the International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples. Happy to have learned something about Los Angeles natives.

I’ve lived almost 60 years generally in Tucson, LA, and San Francisco. For a large segment of that time I’ve been leading literally 100s of hikes over portions of what we think was DeAnza’s path. My respect for the courage and resourcefulness of this band of 200 pilgrims is limitless. My awareness of the legacy of largely peaceful and structured societies along the way has been richly expanded. Religion, wanderlust, and ownership are all part of the story. So are cooperation, kindness and betrayal. To understand the human condition you need look no further. Some have the gall to call it progress.
Thank you. That was about the most beautiful thing this grandfather has seen since the births of his grandchildren. I am born and raised in the San Gabriel Valley and have hiked many of it's rivers and streams. There are places you can sit in the valleys by the water deep in the mountains and hear the mountains whispering. Many times I've been on the verge of understanding what was being said and hoped to one day understand.
I went today and try to spot owls but no luck
I live on the river in Frogtown for about 13 yrs. Every spring, a company is contracted to clear the river.....they come and spray all the foliage in the islands, not just invasive, no naturalist guiding them...Just spray everything and leave all the cuttings in the river, make it even more toxic and reduce flow. This year a 1000 percent more algae in the water, I have no doubt that contributed. They say it isn't toxic to the water, but I am sorry, I watch everything die and Round UP is ROUND UP!!!!! We have so many beautiful birds and they always seem to do it in nesting season!! I am dreading this year, I have tried calling and contacting everyone, including FOLAR in years past. Army Corps of Engineers is a wall, the guys cutting and spraying miles of the river are just doing their job... (not protected properly!!) Audubon Society of Los Angeles had sympathy for the birds of course, but also not that interested. Am I alone in this, I wonder does anyone else notice ?? Is there something safe for the water that kills everything.... I am seeing a few Acana starting, way less, if someone could come thru and manage the sandbars, and plant what is good for them. Instead of just killing everything until next year....Lots of birds come from all over and stop off here, there has to be some beneficial planting we can be seeding in.
. thank you for giving us these lessons i now alot more about life here for the last twenty years now i am finding my connection with the spirit of this place may our creator be merciful .
This is a great experimental presentation of what indicator species are. Thanks.
