In cooperation with the Lummis Day Festival the Arroyo Arts Collective presents

Saturdays, May 13, 20 and 27 10 am - 12 noon, Free Franklin Transportation Academy southwest end of Franklin High School campus Look for the signs at Irvington Place and Avenue 53

We co-created 3 large street puppets inspired by the oldest stories of our area, those that come from the Tongva people. The puppets were part of a procession and display at the Lummis Day Festival on June 4th.
 
Children and adults were welcome to come hear Tongva stories, and joined in the exciting process of community art making!
 
Our storyteller (May 13) was Don Newton, a community activist, poet, painter and long time resident of Northeast Los Angeles. His book "The Beginning of the World" is a collection of stories and legends of the Tongva.
