In the heart of downtown Los Angeles (Gabrielino-Tongva land), “Letters to our Ancestors” details how American Indian and Alaska Native organizations are working to preserve and restore Indigenous cultural identity as the foundation of well-being and healthy development. We witness the amazing impact that Indigenous cultural values, customs and traditions have on the next generation of children and youths growing up in a diverse urban community.
