At Art In Residence, we acknowledge the first peoples who called this valley home. We value the indigenous communities here in the Antelope Valley, including the Tataviam, Vanyume, Chemehuevi, Serrano, Kawaiisu, and Kitanemuk peoples for their initial stewardship of the land, and continued presence here today. We recognize our position as guests on this land and seek to move conversations, which highlight Native voices, stories, and perspectives forward.
