Tataviam Tribal Council Signage

 

The Tataviam Land Conservancy (TLC) is working to restore a deeper understanding of place in the Los Angeles Region, told through the voices of Indigenous communities who have cared for the land for generations. Our team created interpretive signage as part of the LA River Master Plan to reflect the knowledge, values, and lived experience of the Fernandeño Tataviam Band of Mission Indians.

We collaborated with TLC to develop a signage plan, along with a suite of four trailhead panels and 23 interpretive panels for four public sites throughout the Tribe’s territory. The panels share stories of the Tataviam people in a thoughtful, authentic, and educational way. From welcome panels to species identification signs, each was designed to invite learning and reflection from a diverse audience.

This project was not only about interpretation. It was about space-making, representation, and offering a more accurate, layered perspective on land and history.

Walking with Gratitude and Intent

At Fenwood Creative, our work is rooted in place. We share stories of the land across Turtle Island (North America). We honour the deep knowledge and enduring relationships that Indigenous communities hold with the land, water, and all living things. Their stories are inseparable from the places we interpret, and we are committed to uplifting Indigenous voices and centering them in our work. 

We are grateful to live, work, play, and raise our families on Treaty 6 Territory (the traditional and current lands of the Cree, Saultaux, Nakota, Sioux, and Dene), the Métis Nation of Alberta Region 4, and the unceded traditional territory of the Ktunaxa Nation. We commit to listening, learning, and walking alongside Indigenous Peoples with respect and humility.
