Tongva People on Climate Change and Adaptation (West Hollywood) by Pueblo Planning published on 2021-04-01T05:34:30Z West Hollywood is located on unceded Tongva/Kizh territory and is situated between two Tongva/Kizh villages, Kuruvunga and Kawee’nga. A large portion of the land where West Hollywood is located once had freshwater marshes and wetlands filled with life; the land was a significant site for ceremony, food, and provided plants for shelter and transportation. Pueblo Planning had the privilege of learning from the Tongva/Kizh and non-Tongva/Kizh Urban Indigenous community members in the Los Angeles region to help shape and inform the City of West Hollywood’s Climate Action and Adaptation Plan. Through a partnership with Sacred Places Institute for Indigenous Peoples (SPI), Pueblo Planning co-developed engagement efforts and SPI connected Pueblo Planning with Indigenous communities living on Tongva/Kizh territory.
