An intertribal powwow took over the Cal State Dominguez Hills campus Saturday, April 18, with food, music and a traditional powwow ceremony. CSUDH has held this event for 15 years, honoring the Tongva-Gabrielino land the university sits on in Carson.<\/p>\n

The Tongva people had villages throughout Southern California before the area was colonized, and the powwow welcomed all descendants of the Tongva-Gabrielino tribe and any other Indigenous people in the area.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are on Tongva land and the Tongva, like other indigenous communities across the United States and across the world, have faced centuries of oppression,\u201d said CSUDH Native Gathering Event Coordinator Ambyr Hardy. \u201cThey have faced genocide, yet they persist; they\u2019re resilient.\u201d<\/p>\n

The event attracted hundreds of attendees and lasted all day with Tongva singers, a Native music concert and a hoop dance. New this year, Hardy said, was a celebration for Indigenous students who are graduating this year.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur school sits on top of Tongva land,\u201d Hardy said. \u201cSo people on campus, including faculty, the administration, the CSU system and also our Indigenous students and our community, really feel that it\u2019s important to recognize we\u2019re on Tongva land and work with the Tongva-Gabrielino community as well as the other tribal communities that call Southern California home.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"An intertribal powwow took over the Cal State Dominguez Hills campus Saturday, April 18, with food, music and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":276060,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[7,16844,179,23,131,133,132,137,200,136],"class_list":["post-276059","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-long-beach","tag-california","tag-carson","tag-community","tag-local-news","tag-long-beach","tag-long-beach-headlines","tag-long-beach-news","tag-los-angeles-county","tag-south-bay","tag-top-stories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/276059","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=276059"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/276059\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/276060"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=276059"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=276059"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=276059"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
