Rancho Los Alamitos Exploration Talk

People and Place

The history of the land we know today as Rancho Los Alamitos covers thousands of years of cultural and historical significance. Join us for a discussion about the changing land and people that make up the place we see today. This talk will be facilitated by Lazaro Arvizu Jr. Lazaro is an artist, educator, musician, and researcher dedicated to the culture of the first people of Los Angeles. Born in the Los Angeles Basin, he is knowledgeable about the landscape and cosmology of the Gabrieleno culture. For over 20 years, he has facilitated creative and meaningful cultural experiences for people of all ages and walks of life, in many venues, including Rancho Los Alamitos.

Doors will open at 5:30 pm, and the lecture will start at 6 pm.

Rancho Los Alamitos is located on the ancestral and unceded land of the Gabrielino/Tongva people, who cared for this land for thousands of years and continue to do so today. Learn more by visiting gabrielinotribe.org.
