Land Acknowledgment

On this day, we give homage to the Gabrielino-Tongva people, the traditional caretakers of this land, Tovaangar, on which the El Camino campus resides

We recognize that this institution benefits from the violent displacement and disenfranchisement of those who inhabited and stewarded this land for generations .

We pay our respect to the Gabrielino-Tongva people, past and present, and their connection to this space .

We are also aware of the racially discriminatory condemnation of the Gordon Manor tract, a Black residential development project proposed for this land in 1926

We acknowledge a history of involuntary sacrifice that allowed for the establishment and continued existence of El Camino College
