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.
