meztli projects

meztli projects is an Indigenous based arts & culture collaborative centering Indigeneity into the creative practice of Los Angeles by using arts-based strategies to support, advocate for, and organize to highlight Native/Indigenous Artists and systems-impacted youth.

meztli projects operates out of Apachianga (East Los Angeles, LA County), lands stewarded since time immemorial by families and villages now known as the Acjachemen, Chumash, Tataviam and Tongva Tribal Nations.

Our work requires a constant reinvestigation of our presence as Indigenous Peoples on lands that are not our ancestral homelands so that we may be guests living in kinship, reciprocity and doing our best to center these Tribal Nations.
