CSUN to Unveil Celebratory Mural Honoring Long History of Fernandeño Tataviam Band of Mission Indians

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
When you enter the main floor of the west wing of the California State University Northridge library, you'll soon notice a new mural blending art, nature and the Indigenous history that the campus sits on.

As a tribute to the Fernandeño Tataviam Band of Mission Indians (FTBMI), the celebratory mural, titled "The Continuum of Time", will honor the historic tribe of northern Los Angeles County.

The CSUN Tataviam Mural Project is a collaborative artistic endeavor between artist Lindsay Carron - the winner of a selective mural competition- Tataviam tribal leadership, and the university to create a lasting mural legacy in the University Library. The mural is aligned with the University Library's commitment to honor the land upon which it stands. The land, known as the Sesevenga, is the historic and unceded territory of the Sesevitam. The descendants of the first inhabitants of this land continue to live in the area as citizens of the FTBMI.

The art installation is part of the official land acknowledgement action plan for the University Library, developed by the library's Diversity and Inclusion Committee and approved by the Executive Group (EG). The CSUN American Indian Studies program and its former Director, Scott Andrews, an enrolled member of the Cherokee Nation, also played a pivotal role to make this project possible.

"The winner of the CSUN University Library Tataviam Mural Competition is Lindsay Carron. Many thanks go to the selection jury, made up of Samantha Fields (chair of the art department); Alesha Claveria (American Indian studies); and Mario Ontiveros (art history)," said Mark Stover, dean of the University Library, in a statement. "I'm also grateful to Mark Villasenor from the Fernandeño Band of Mission Indians, who spent time with each of the finalists and who, along with Rudy Ortega and others from the Tataviam leadership team, also gave important feedback on both the semifinalists' submissions and the finalists' compositions and sketches."

The mural will be installed on an existing curved wall near the Creative Maker Studio Learning Commons, located on the first floor of the west wing of the library. The mural's size will be about 10 feet high by 25 feet long and will include a commemorative plaque with a brief description of the art and artist's attribution.

The design will be printed on polytab and then adhered to the wall in a two-layer polytab process that will be guided by professionals at Social and Public Art Resource Center (SPARC). Carron will be painting the mural on top of the printed polytab.

"This mural not only depicts the important history of the tribe," said Carron, who has been a part of public art projects throughout the U.S and consulted with the FTBMI in presenting her final design. "But how the tribal members continue to celebrate their culture, land, and ways of life - time immemorial to present and future - through symbols of hope, resilience, strength and harmony with the natural environment of northern Los Angeles County."

The mural is expected to be partially completed by mid-April, which will coincide with a mural talk - the first of three planned public events to celebrate the artwork in the next year - with Carron and Tataviam Tribe Members in the Gohstand Leisure Reading Room in the library on Tuesday, April 16, from 5- 6:30 p.m. The public will be able to meet Carron and learn about her practice working in collaboration with communities and in the wilderness and listen to Tataviam leaders share their perspectives.

The mural is expected to be fully completed by mid-May this year.

Save Lumad Schools

by: Pam Tau Lee, Chair of the
International Coalition for Human Rights in the Philippines (ICHRP) - U.S.

The Lumad are indigenous people in the southern Mindanao region of the Philippines. The term Lumad is short for Katawhang Lumad (Literally: "indigenous people"), a description officially adopted by delegates of the Lumad Mindanao Peoples Federation founding assembly on June 26, 1986. This grew out of a political awakening among tribes during the martial law regime of President Marcos and reflects the collective identify of 18 Lumad ethnic groups. The assembly's main objectives was to achieve self-determination and governance for their member-tribes within their ancestral domain in accordance with their culture and customary laws.

The Lumad have a traditional ancestral concept of land ownership which is communal private property. Community members have the right utilize any piece of unoccupied land within the communal territory. Lumad ancestral lands include rain forests, hunting grounds, cultivated and uncultivated land and valuable mineral resources (copper, nickel, gold, chromite, coal, gas, cement) below the land.

For decades the Lumad had been forced to physically defend their right to control their ancestral territories against corporate plunder and militarization. Unable to match up to the armed forces of the government and profiteers the Lumad have had to flee their communities; their land has been seized by multinational corporations and logging companies. Wealthy Filipino migrants and multinationals are planting and exporting palm oil, bananas, rubber and pineapple.

Unequipped to understand the modern land tenure system, the Lumad have established schools in their communities supplying knowledge to young adults and youth on how to protect their rights, property and culture. While these schools have always posed a threat, President Duterte has taken the unprecedented step of directing the Department of Education to close them down and has also encouraged the killing and arrest of Lumad teachers, which continues to go unpunished.

The history of violence and unwarranted (extrajudicial) killings of Lumad at the hands of military, paramilitary, and private security forces is in the hundreds, with the arrest and torture Lumad activists in the thousands. Fifty-six percent of Philippine military have been deployed to the Mindanao region. Today many of the Lumad have sought safety and shelter in evacuation centers where they and other victims of war are crowded into small spaces, lacking sanitary conditions and food, and endure harassment by local police including sexual harassment.

Indigenous innovation is as diverse and expansive as Indigenous communities, with entrepreneurs harnessing traditional knowledge systems, values, and teachings to reimagine and renew what is possible in their communities and beyond. The Tohono O'odham Nation, a sovereign tribe with the landmass of Connecticut, has recently deployed affordable wireless internet service across its citizens. In Canada, the Sanyakola Foundation is working directly with First Nations and Métis elders to develop language revitalization technologies for dying or presumed extinct Indigenous languages. Indigenous innovators across the US and Canada are committed to creating bright and prosperous futures for all.

Solve continues to hear from Indigenous leaders about the essential role culture and traditional knowledge systems must play in any business, nonprofit, or social enterprise designed by and for their communities. Moreover, there is an ever-increasing callfrom Indigenous peoples to generate, modify, and control their own technologies for the sake of their communities. Whether working with data banks, financial institutions, agriculture, energy, and more, the time is past due for local control of the services and technologies serving Indigenous peoples.

MIT Solve seeks exceptional innovators supporting community-based solutions by and for Indigenous communities across the United States and Canada. While we are excited to select and support innovators with any focal area, we have a particular interest for 2024 in solutions that:

Strengthen sustainable energy sovereignty and support climate resilience initiatives by and for Indigenous peoples.

Drive positive outcomes for Indigenous learners of any age and context through culturally grounded educational opportunities.

Promote culturally informed mental and physical health and wellness services for Indigenous community members.

Advance community-driven digital sovereignty initiatives in Indigenous communities, including the ethical use of AI, machine learning, and data technologies.

Eligibility Clarifications:

Solve welcomes applications focused on people Indigenous to anywhere within the United States and Canada, including territories.

Solutions do not need to be cross-border or international in scope and can focus on specific Indigenous communities in either country.

Unlike the Global Challenges, the Indigenous Communities Fellowship considers concept-stage solutions for potential selection as Fellows.

 KQED on Instagram: "California’s Yurok Tribe, which had 90% of its territory taken from it during the Gold Rush of the mid-1800s, will be getting a slice of its land back to serve as a new gateway to Redwood National and State Parks visited by 1 million people a year.

The Yurok will be the first Native people to manage tribal land with the National Park Service under a historic memorandum of understanding signed Tuesday by the tribe, Redwood National and State Parks and the nonprofit Save the Redwoods League.

The agreement “starts the process of changing the narrative about how, by whom and for whom we steward natural lands,” Sam Hodder, president and CEO of Save the Redwoods League, said in a statement.

The tribe will take ownership in 2026 of 125 acres near the tiny Northern California community of Orick in Humboldt County after restoration of a local tributary, Prairie Creek, is complete under the deal. The site will introduce visitors to Yurok customs, culture and history, the tribe said.

Fernandeño Tataviam Band of Mission Indians

A Multi-Lingual People

The Tribe consists of individuals of four historic ethno-linguistic groups originating in the Simi, Santa Clarita, San Fernando, and Antelope Valleys. The local Takic and Chumashan Language groups of the region were subdivided into local dialects that were shared by several villages. Due to this linguistic diversity, the Native Americans who would be called Fernandeño spoke multiple language and dialects in order to communicate with their village and their spouse's origin village. If villages spoke the same dialects, they did not form a language-based tribe.

Pictured: Fernandeño Native Sétimo Moraga (1855 - 1931) who was also known as Sétimo López, was one of J.P. Harrington's Fernandeño consultants. He provided many Fernandeño dialect words that are still used today.

This one is a little bit closer to me. While I do this to help everyone I can, oh man, this one almost hurts. There is nothing like seeing police 24/7 in your community arresting people and still having to act like everything’s cool. As if police brutality can ever become our normal. As if we don’t visit prisons on weekends to see our zip code down the list when you sign in for visiting. As if less than 3 hours ago I didn’t see police go into our apartment complex. Please don’t ever tell me or anyone like me I’m not like “them” I’m exactly like them in there. We all are. The only difference was luck and privilege.  I dedicate this to all the people I’ve seen arrested, all the kids I’ve seen arrested, all the people in jail right now, to the people living in the projects with me that see the police run in over 200 times a year, to all the people in these programs I get to meet, to the girl who’s went in,  and is out chasing her master degree, to my family who is in there right now chasing education. I love you more than the world for real. Free everyone.

It's funny because, every time I reach a new goal in my life... around the same time I get a phone call from prison. Or I am taken to the prison to visit. I wonder if it is the universe's way of telling me "Hey, don't you ever forget what could have been." and to be grateful to live in the free world despite incarnation being shoved down our throats when we mess up.

Now you know me better… don’t blame people in impoverished areas for not liking white people, authority, modern day colonialism and so much more. My “prejudice” is ancestral warnings.

I always wondered why it stung like a bitch to see a cop, to walk into state penitentiary, to be in trouble. Thank you to the brown trans people that taught me fast what would happen if I acted out. How we are penalized at another level. I have dealt with being policed my entire life. Unfortunately, it even has happened in professional settings. They love to keep their eyes on me. When it happens I am quick to leave because I know it pains me to be mistreated and I know what will happen when I act up. I know what will happen to me once I am dealt with a "punishment" and the way the authority will go about it. I am tired for being penalized for being expressive, for being trans and for being brown.

Dear Ancestors, I wish I had known you a bit better. I wonder if hating all authority comes with having a line of people who resisted so much for so long.

The BIA, Housing Improvement Program (HIP), also known as Housing Program (HP), seeks to enhance the quality of life of qualified individuals by addressing sub-standard housing and homelessness for members of federally recognized Tribes. The program provides grant funding for housing repairs and renovations of existing homes, construction of modest replacement homes, housing down payments to use in conjunction with other Federal and State programs, or construction of modest homes for families who do not own a home but have ownership or lease of sufficient land suitable for housing. Program funding is available to federally recognized Tribes for use in providing program services to Tribal applicants who meet the eligibility criteria in 25 CFR § 256. The HP targets eligible applicants and is based upon a priority ranking that includes factors such as income, age, veterans, disability, and dependent children.

Welcome Back! The CSUN VITA Clinic provides cost-free income tax assistance to low-income residents. We are open in 15 locations across the San Fernando Valley. Schedule your appointment below.

Serving the public since 1970, CSUN VITA Clinic is a cost-free income tax assistance service to low-income residents in the San Fernando Valley and beyond. Our goal is to provide outstanding free tax preparation service to low-income taxpayers in our community and to provide our students with a quality experiential learning experience in the field of taxation.

CSUN VITA Clinic provides cost-free income tax assistance to low-income residents.

In 2023, the CSUN Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) Clinic clinched the top ranking among more than 6,700 VITA sites nationally in terms of returns transmitted. Powered with the support of over 298 student volunteers, the CSUN VITA Clinic provided free tax preparation to over 8,500 low-income taxpayers in Los Angeles County. In all, CSUN VITA Clinic helped taxpayers claim nearly $8 million in tax refunds and $2.8 million in federal and state Earned Income Tax Credits, saving them over $1.9 million in tax preparation fees. The clinic operated a total of 14 tax preparation sites throughout Los Angeles County operating six days per week to help low-income taxpayers submit their tax returns and obtain their tax credits and tax refunds. CSUN's VITA Clinics are helping Californians qualify for the California Earned Income Tax Credit (CalEITC).

All services are by appointment only.

The best way to contact us is by emailing at or calling us at (818) 677-3600.

Land Donation Marks Historic Return of Ancestral Territory to Fernandeño Tataviam Band of Mission Indians
San Fernando, California / January 8, 2024 - The Fernandeño Tataviam Band of Mission Indians (Tribe) announced today the donation of more than 500 acres of historic ancestral land to the Tataviam Land Conservancy, a nonprofit organization formed by the Tribe in 2018. The donation made by Land Veritas is the first-ever land donation to the conservancy and marks the first time in more than a century that the Tribe will regain ownership and stewardship over a portion of its original territory.

The Tribe's history is deeply interwoven into its homelands that once spanned more than 1.5 million acres, extending from the Antelope Valley to the Pacific Ocean. By 1900, the Tribe was rendered "landless," with their territory reduced to zero through unjust land dispossession.

"We are deeply grateful to Land Veritas and Tracey Brownfield for reconnecting us to our ancestral territory," said Rudy Ortega, Jr., President of the Fernandeño Tataviam Band of Mission Indians. "The significance of this donation goes beyond property ownership. It's a restoration of heritage and a commitment to environmental stewardship."

The Tataviam Land Conservancy intends to explore ways to further preserve the land-which is in northern Los Angeles County and adjacent to an existing environmental mitigation bank-including a permanent conservation easement. A small portion of the acreage includes unpaved roads and a building pad that the Tribe plans to use for educational instruction.

"Protecting this land and preserving its natural splendor from development have been personal priorities for me," said Tracey Brownfield, President of Land Veritas. "I firmly believe there's no better steward or protector of this land than the Tribe. Their profound respect for the environment and cultural legacy makes them the most deserving custodians of this cherished landscape."

More information about specific plans and uses for the land will be shared by The Tataviam Land Conservancy and the Fernandeño Tataviam Band of Mission Indians as part of their 2024 planning.

This announcement builds upon the Tribe's recent historic agreement with California State Parks to formalize cooperation and collaboration in the management and protection of natural and cultural resources and interpretation for state parks within the Tribe's ancestral lands.

El Salvador Deals Major Blow to Nahuat Language Revitalization Efforts

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The new year is off to a bad start for Indigenous peoples and languages in El Salvador. The Ministry of Education has decided to disband the Cuna Náhuat revitalization program. In its place, as part of the recently passed Growing Together Law and an eponymous program promoted by the Office of First Lady, a new initiative called Nests of Linguistic Immersion will replace the cunas ( cribs) in schools where those programs once operated.

Any initiative that promotes Pipil/Nahuat language education in El Salvador should be a cause for celebration, but these new "nests" are designed to absorb staff and children from the "cribs," leaving them empty rather than working to emulate their methodology and pedagogy. This development, from its outset, marks a major setback for Nahuat language revitalization in El Salvador - a process that the government, by law, must uphold.

The Nests are ostensibly designed to continue efforts to promote the speaking of Nahuat, but they will not employ the same model developed and successfully implemented by the Cunas. The Cuna Nahuat is not the only model for linguistic revitalization, but it is the only one developed in this country and region to show positive results recognized by locals and foreigners alike.

My purpose here is not to criticize the Nests that are slated to be opened in El Salvador's school system -programs that will serve a sector of the population long forgotten by the government- but to shed light on the fact that the Ministry of Education is closing the only program in the country that was successfully revitalizing Nahuat, prompting widespread surprise and frustration, especially among Indigenous teachers and parents.

The Nahuat language, also known as Pipil, is the last Indigenous language spoken in El Salvador, and, with less than a hundred native speakers, is at serious risk of extinction. Nahuat's imminent disappearance as a living language would leave El Salvador with no remaining original languages.

This is the problem, and it is not unique to El Salvador: The case of Nahuat is repeated thousands of times around the world. More than three thousand natural languages, or 50 percent of all languages worldwide, face imminent extinction. In biological terms, this would be the equivalent of half of all animal species teetering on the verge of disappearing forever.

As a linguist, and as a Salvadoran, I have dedicated a large part of my professional life to the study, documentation, promotion, and revitalization of this Indigenous language, part of our national and global heritage. In 2010, in a bid to prevent the extinction of Nahuat under the auspices of Don Bosco University and with the sponsorship of the Ministry of Education, we launched the Cuna Nahuat program. Using a revitalization model I developed, it was designed to be an essential component in a long process of language revitalization. The Cuna started as a pilot program with the hope of proving that the model worked, so that it could be applied to other endangered languages.

The Cuna Nahuat is a language immersion center where Indigenous children between the ages of three and five develop play activities in Nahuat guided by native-speaking women who interact with them exclusively in their ancestral tongue. In other words, the medium of instruction and interaction in the Cunas is Nahuat. The children develop cognitive and psychomotor skills corresponding to their age and in preparation for their success in school.

The Indigenous teachers, or nanzin tamatxtiani, are women from Santo Domingo de Guzmán (Wizapan, in Nahuat), in the western department of Sonsonate, the last stronghold of Nahuat speakers in the country. These women never had access to formal education. The system excluded them, so they never learned to read and write. They grew up in poverty, carrying with them a heritage that they devalued, because it had been a source of discrimination and shame all their lives. That heritage is Nahuat, their mother tongue.

In 2010, four of these women agreed to participate as tamatxtiani (teachers) in the Cuna Nahuat in Wizapan. They underwent intensive training in early childhood education and language immersion. They went from working as housewives, potters, or farmers to being educators, radically transforming their status in the community. These women represent the beginning of a process of social transformation that profoundly altered the negative view that many in the villages harbored toward the native language and Indigenous people more broadly.

We started in 2010 with the single Cuna Nahuat pilot program in Wizapan. Then, with the support of several sponsors -among them, UNICEF and the Basque collective El Salvador Elkartasuna, which is currently our main collaborator- two more Cunas were launched in other municipalities. By 2022, there were three Cunas operating in western El Salvador -one in Wizapan, one in Santa Catarina Masahuat, and one in Nahuizalco- which together served over 100 children. Now, in 2023, as a result of the Ministry of Education's intervention, none of these programs have been able to open their doors.

The Cuna Nahuat is a community program, and it was born through community support from parents, municipal leaders, and other local Indigenous people. For this reason, the Cunas are the patrimony of the communities where they operate. Each parent who sends their child to the Cuna, each child who attends a Cuna program, each Indigenous person in the community, each nanzin tamatxtiani, each mayor and municipal council member, each person in the community is an important participant in the revitalization. The Cuna Nahuat is not a Nahuat school, nor is it a daycare or "language nest" like the Maori's te kohanga reo or the Pūnana Leo in Hawaii, the ikastola in the Basque Autonomous Community, or language immersion schools in Canada, though it has certain similarities. The Cuna is the motor that drives the recovery of Indigenous ethnic pride, enshrining the rights of Indigenous peoples -especially women- through the safeguarding and promotion of ancestral language and culture.

The closing of the Cunas violates Indigenous rights including the human right to be educated in our mother tongue. The Growing Together Law says as much in Article 59:

"Children and adolescents have the right to know, preserve, develop, and recover the spiritual, cultural, religious, linguistic, and any other element that allows them to define their cultural identity; for this purpose, the family, society, and state shall facilitate spaces that allow them to develop this right in all realms of life: family, school, community, municipality, and nation."

Likewise, Article 54(f) of the law stipulates that it is the responsibility of the state to "promote knowledge of and respect for the Spanish language, sign language, languages of Indigenous peoples, cultural identity, and other forms of cultural expression."

The Cuna Nahuat is a program that, since its genesis, has sought to fulfill these rights for the children of the communities in which it operates. Therefore, closing the Cunas is a violation of their rights, and the rights of all Indigenous communities in the country. All of us involved in the program will do everything in our power to see the Cunas, which should have resumed activities on February 6, 2023, open their doors as soon as possible, so that we can continue the process of revitalizing the Nahuat language in El Salvador.
*Jorge Lemus holds a PhD in linguistics from the University of Arizona. In 2010, he received El Salvador's Premio Nacional de Cultura for his efforts to revitalize Nahuat.

Uncovering multiple layers of indigenous Los Angeles through digital storytelling & oral history with community leaders, youth and elders from indigenous communities throughout the city.

Mapping Indigenous LA

Place-Making Through Digital Storytelling

A map of Los Angeles does not tell the story of its people. In a megalopolis like Los Angeles, this is a story that is often invisible to policy makers and even the city's notion of itself as a global crossroads. This story includes layered, sedimented cultural geographies of Indigenous Los Angeles that includes the Gabrielino/Tongva and Tataviam who struggle for recognition of their sacred spaces and recognition as a nations, American Indians who were removed from their lands and displaced through governmental policies of settler colonialism, and indigenous diasporas from Latin America and Oceania where people have been displaced by militarism, neoliberal economic policies, and overlapping colonial histories. When we consider Pacific Islander and Latin American Indigenous Diasporas, Los Angeles has the largest indigenous population of any city in the US. While many would argue that there is not one Los Angeles but multiple LAs, what is less known is that there are multiple indigenous LAs whose histories are layered into the fabric of the city.

UCLA professor emeritus and artist Judith Baca's original mural was unveiled in Ackerman Union on Friday. The mural portrays scenes from the history of UCLA's land, including Native peoples and influential figures from the UCLA community.

Located at the Wescom Student Terrace on level one of Ackerman Union, the mural is titled "La Memoria de la Tierra: UCLA" and consists of three 26-foot-long panels. The first panel depicts the original Los Angeles River and its original peoples, the second panel highlights influential members of the UCLA community, and the third panel displays a future in which the university recognizes and coexists peacefully with the Native land.

The UCLA Centennial Committee first commissioned the mural in 2019, and it was created in partnership with ASUCLA.

Pouria Abbassi, ASUCLA executive director and CEO, said ASUCLA chose to collaborate with Baca because of her renowned artistry and her relationship with UCLA.

"If you look at all the artists that have been part of UCLA, without a doubt the most prominent living artist at UCLA is Judy Baca," Abbassi said. "So when we were looking at how we can depict 100 years of UCLA and what it means in the future and all the moments that have come from UCLA, there was only one choice."

Desirae Barragan, the co-chair of the American Indian Student Association, is depicted in the second panel of the mural. The third-year American Indian studies and human biology and society student said she helped connect Baca with other Gabrielino people to discuss the mural during her art process.

"(My meeting with Baca) just solidified the good intentions that she had behind it in ensuring that she got permission from the Gabrielino community to include our perspectives, our voices and peoples," Barragan said.

Barragan said she was stunned by the mural at the unveiling ceremony. The pieces of the mural represent society improving, and students passing by Ackerman Union will hopefully take more interest in the history of the people portrayed, Barragan added.

Jazz Kiang, the chair of the ASUCLA Board of Directors, said the mural is a representation of activism at UCLA.

"Throughout that 100 years, there is a story of activism," said Kiang, who is also a doctoral student in higher education and organizational change. "There's a story of building community, and there's a story of turning the wheels toward justice. And I think that theme, or all those themes together, are what we tried to have presented in a piece like this."

Abbassi added that he hopes the mural will help students reflect on America's land history and look toward the possibility of a brighter future while feeling welcome in Ackerman Union.

"It also reflects on our pasts and where this land came from - the Native land you're sitting on - and pays homage to that," Abbassi said. "During your lunchtime, when you come and sit here, you'll enjoy that visual experience." - Ryo Wakura, April 6, 2022

Caitlin Gulley, a graduate of University of California Los Angeles, began her journey with the Tribe in 2014 as a Tribal Historic and Cultural Preservation officer. She was instrumental in defending and preserving the cultural resources of a non-federally recognized tribe and became determined to further her education in law due to the legal aspects intertwined with the practice of cultural resources protection.
