We celebrate and honor Indigenous People’s Day, recognizing their profound history, rich cultures, and invaluable contributions to our world. This day serves as a vital reminder of the enduring legacy of Indigenous communities and their deep connection to the land.
Nature for All acknowledges the Indigenous peoples of the ancestral homelands, where we live and deliver our mission. We value the vibrant Indigenous communities and honor the lineal descendants of the Gabrielino, Kizh, Shoshone Nations of Southern California, the Fernandeño Tataviam, Serrano, and Chumash, and all federally recognized and unrecognized native and Indigenous people as the original caretakers of the lands and waterways of what is now Los Angeles County.
We are grateful for the opportunity to partner with local Tribal Leaders, whose wisdom and guidance are instrumental in our shared mission to protect our public lands and open spaces. Their traditional ecological knowledge, passed down through generations, offers crucial insights into sustainable land management and conservation practices. By working collaboratively, we aim to safeguard these precious natural resources for future generations, respecting the ancestral lands and the cultures that have flourished upon them for millennia. Our partnerships are built on a foundation of mutual respect, learning, and a shared commitment to environmental stewardship.
We take this moment to also acknowledge and express our gratitude to Indigenous leaders that share their time, stories, and blessings as part of our programs throughout the year.
