We acknowledge that Marina Green Park is located on the traditional lands of the Tongva (Gabrielino) and Acjachemen peoples, who have stewarded this land and coastline since time immemorial. We honor their elders past, present, and emerging, and recognize their enduring connection to this place. As we gather here today, we do so with gratitude and respect for the land, the water, and the communities who have cared for them long before us.
