And, Land Acknowledgement is not the same thing as land back. We invite you to go beyond land acknowledgement and give a kuuy nahw’a (guest exchange*) to the Tongva-led land conservancy where land has rightfully returned to them for the first time since colonization.

Individuals and institutions can make a voluntary recurring contribution to support Tongva-led Land Back efforts acknowledging both relationships and reciprocity to lands and Native Peoples of Tovaangar — this place many of us now call home.

*Kuuy nahwá’a is the belief that when given a chance to affect history in a positive way, that a just human being would make the just move.

We are on Native land. We Still Move acknowledges the Gabrieleno/Tongva peoples as the traditional land caretakers of Tovaangar (the Los Angeles basin and Southern Channel Islands). We pay our respects to the Honuukvetam (Ancestors), ‘Ahiihirom (Elders) and ‘Eyoohiinkem (our relatives/relations) past, present and emerging.

We Still Move cultivates wellbeing, resilience, and joy through movement and the healing arts.

Our trauma-informed work is by and for women, gender-expansive and 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals from Black, Indigenous and Communities of color. 

Our offerings celebrate both Ancestral Wisdom and emergent practices, creating embodied spaces to reconnect with ourselves and each other.
