The Tongva People are a Native American tribe originally from the Los Angeles area in California. They are known for their rich cultural heritage, which includes traditional practices, languages, and crafts. The Tongva lived in harmony with the land, relying on local resources for food, shelter, and tools. Historically, the Tongva were skilled in fishing, hunting, and gathering. They built villages along the coast and inland, using natural materials for their homes. Today, the Tongva continue to preserve their culture and advocate for recognition and rights as a distinct indigenous group in California.
