At Company of Angels we acknowledge the land on which we work, and the traditional custodians of this land - The Gabrielino-Tongva Nation. We give our respects to their elders past, present, and emerging. We honor the Gabrielino-Tongva people, whose lands winds, and waters we all now share, and their ancient and enduring cultures. This land was the home of story-telling long before Company of Angels existed, and we are privileged and grateful to share our stories here today.

“Acknowledgment is a simple, powerful way of showing respect and a step toward correcting the stories and practices that erase Indigenous people’s history and culture and toward inviting and honoring the truth. Imagine this practice widely adopted: imagine cultural venues, classrooms, conference settings, places of worship, sports stadiums, and town halls, acknowledging traditional lands. Millions would be exposed—many for the first time—to the names of the traditional Indigenous inhabitants of the lands they are on, inspiring them to ongoing awareness and action.” –from #HonorNativeLand
