This video features Indigenous Tongva Culture Bearer Lazaro Arvizu Jr. This video is part of a series created through California Creatiive Learning Academy's Indigenous Culture Bearer in Residence Program, and was created with the support of a SEL in Action grant. The series nurtures our understanding and connection with key California native plants: elderberry, toyon, black walnut, and  white sage. This program is part of CalCreative's commitment to uplifting local Indigenous traditional knowledge, Indigenous land, and Indigenous leadership, while helping students begin to build relationships of reciprocity with local plant relatives.
