In their own words, “Proud heritage, a unique culture, an illustrious history, a distinct language and beautiful music; these are the foundations upon which our lives as Ho-Chungra are based.” Also foundational within the tribe is community: the collective full investment in raising the young, the involvement of elders in decision-making, a center for family support services, and checking on one another’s wellbeing.

Built around a belief that adults and children learn valuable skills from play, this nonprofit has reimagined 10+ physical spaces across the U.S. - in traditional places like parks and playgrounds, as well as less traditional places like supermarkets, laundromats, and museums. From painting popular streets and annually redesigning parks, to creating snack ingredient audio-art in grocery aisles and making city bus stops hopscotch spots.
