       We

       The Indigenous People

       The Traditional Caretakers of this landscape are the direct descendants of the First People who formed our lands our worlds during creation time.

       We have always been here.

       Our Ancestors prepared and became the landscapes and worlds for the coming of humans with order/knowledge and gifts embedded in the landscape.

       Our Ancestors, imbued the responsibility and obligation to our original instructions, guided by protocol and etiquette to be part of, take care of, and ensure the welfare of the extended family and community defined its most inclusive expression, the NATURE

       and to pass those teachings and responsibilities onto our children, grandchildren and many generations to come.

       (AND to all those that now live here).

       Preface

      Griffith Park is one of the wildest, largest, and most untamed parks in the US, and it sits smack in the middle of its second-largest city—a place that invented and exported urban-suburban sprawl, the freeway, and the auto-centric strip mall. In the region that brought us the four-level stack freeway interchange (still causing headaches at the junction of the 101 and 110), a mature male mountain lion has inspired activists to build the world’s largest wildlife crossing at Liberty Canyon. Just above Hollywood Boulevard, where it’s often easier to see a star on a sidewalk than in the night sky, one of the nation’s oldest planetariums has been educating the public about our place in the cosmos for free for generations.

      Millions of people have seen Griffith Park in films and television, but you’ll still find longtime Los Angeles residents who have no idea where it is, what’s in it, or how to get there. The park is home to the city’s once-primary source
