Puvungna

Hey everyone, your neighborhood Statutory Ape here. This Saturday the 3rd there is going to be a gathering of the people at a place called Puvungna (which means "Gathering Place" in the Tongva language) located on the Cal State Long Beach Campus (the field near the Japanese gardens that is across from the dormitories). It is an annual event where the Native people of Los Angeles come together to hang out, eat, socialize, and at the end of night the Bears come out to dance for everyone. I am inviting anyone who would like to come, to come out and check out this event. If one is interested I will post up some info on it, it is a good thing to learn and try to understand other peoples culture, so come if you wish, I believe that it should start around 5 PM, it is outdoors so bring a jacket, thanks...Mr. Chango.
