CUDAHY, Calif. -- The southeast Los Angeles County city of Cudahy just passed a proposal to include a"land acknowledgment," which is meant to honor Indigenous people and Native land.
"Villages were all along the sides. We had plenty of food. We had plenty of natural resources," Morales Johnson said. "It was really important for me, and for Ms. Lomeli as well, to include the language of 'to respect the Earth, and to live in reciprocity with it,'" she said."I think it's incredibly important to continue to share the message of uplifting indigenous people in our communities, right, in Southeast L.A.," Lomeli said.
