Tongva nation ...

The Gabrielino Tongva Indians are the original inhabitants of the Los Angeles Basin. The Tongva Springs ( San Gabriel Mission Indians ) site ( University High School and vicinity ) was once a thriving self contained village site and home of the Tongva people.

Puvungna is the Indian village which once occupied the land where Cal State Long Beach now stands. Puvungna remains sacred to the Gabrielino and other Indian people as a spiritual center from which their lawgiver and god -- Chungichnish -- instructed his people. Unfortunately, this tradition of learning and teaching which began with the Indian elders has yet to be understood by campus officials.
