Woven Through Generations

When we engage in the art of hair braiding, we infuse it with the purity of our intentions, a gesture that takes on profound significance when it's the tresses of a beloved individual we weave. The act of braiding becomes a powerful symbol, as we intertwine three sections of hair, each one representing the mind, the body, and the spirit.
In my youth, my mother would lovingly braid my hair, creating cherished moments that have left an indelible mark on my heart. As the passage of time bestows maturity, I find myself continuing this timeless tradition by tenderly braiding her hair. In this cycle, we bridge the generations, preserving this beautiful connection that transcends both time and space. The hands that perform this act of love and tradition are mine, as I braid my mother's hair, perpetuating the legacy of our shared bond.
Longest video I’ve ever made and still barely scratched the surface. The Tongva (also called the Kizh) occupied an area the size of Rhode Island for thousands of years and still are not federally recognized.

from Comparative Takic Grammar by Hill. note that the letter J is pronounced like Y in the Tongva words given, so that Jaa is pronounced Yaa.
[ID: text reading as follows: The name for the TV village located roughly at the site of present-day downtown Los Angeles often appears in sources as Jaa-nga. This name might be from jaa‑r ‘poison oak’, but the speakers Harrington worked with did not accept that etymology. It is also recorded as Jaang7ar (3a), which might be clipped from ‑ng7aro, the dative (3b), or a derivation adding an absolutive suffix ‑r after the locative suffix. Other place names recorded with ‑ng7ar include Aawing7ar ‘Huerta de los Ybarras’ and $evaang7ar ‘name of a ranchería (settlement) somewhere’ 179 (3.104.0017). Constructions with ‑nga are not fully onomasticized in that the ‑nga suffix is treated as inflectional, being replaced by other suffixes when a different local case expression is desired, as in (3). (3) TV a. Jaa-nga ~ Jaa-ng7a-r ‘Los Angeles’ (3.102.0749, 3.102.0156)
b. Jaa-ng7aro ‘to Los Angeles’ (3.102.0552)
c. Jaa-ve ‘from Los Angeles’ (3.102.0160) /ID]
On the way that LA is referred to in Tongva, the language of the California Indians of that area.

Tongva community leaders credit traditional stewardship practices, including the removal of fire-prone eucalyptus, with reducing the wildfir
A day at Mangette after dropping my partner off at the airport.
Visited the Kuruvungna Village Springs recently! Really beautiful site. [ID: Two image photo set of drawings set at the Kuruvungna Village Springs.
