Haramokngna opened in 1998 with a special use permit from the Angeles National Forest.
Haramokngna American Indian Cultural Center is the realization of a dream of many people in the greater Los Angeles area. It is a center where Native American people can gather to share their culture, their history, their heritage, and their dreams with their families, their brothers and sisters from other Native groups and with the general public of Los Angeles. It is a center where the First People of this land – the Gabrieleno / Tongva, the Chumash, the Fernandeño / Tataviam, the Kitanemuk and the Serrano can share their knowledge of the ways given to them to care for this land, to honor it, and to keep it renewed for us all to experience and enjoy. It is a center where the Indian People relocated from their lands can once again touch the earth, feel the wind, listen for the sound of our wild brothers and sisters -- the animals and birds -- and smell the fragrance of native plants. We welcome all visitors who share this yearning for a connection to the mountains and a thirst for the knowledge and understanding of Native Ways.
