Our Land Acknowledgement:
The Old Mill, El Molino Viejo, exists on the ancestral and unceded lands of the Gabrielino-Tongva and Kizh Nation peoples who continue to call this region home. The Old Mill respectfully acknowledges these Indigenous peoples as the traditional caretakers of this landscape, as the direct descendants of the First People. The Old Mill recognizes their continued presence and is grateful to have the opportunity to work and foster artistic, educational and community programs on this land.
