About the Event

Autry-in-Residence: Tongva: The First Peoples of Los Angeles is an engaging, hands-on object-based learning experience led by the Autry Museum of the American West that invites participants to become historians. Guided by trained Autry educators, participants explore objects, natural materials, and images to discover how the Tongva, the first peoples of the Los Angeles region, continue to draw on their deep knowledge of the land and environment.

For disability-related accommodations, please call (213) 228-7430 at least five business days prior to the event. The City will make every effort to accommodate requests received with less notice.
