Tongva greeting: Yava’wiya

Comments Off on Tongva greeting: Yava’wiya

Here is my response:

"Yava'wiya!" – This is a greeting in the Tongva language, which is also known as Gabrielino.

Translated to English, this phrase means "Good day" or "Hello".

The Tongva people were an indigenous tribe that originally inhabited the Los Angeles Basin and surrounding areas; did you know that the Tongva word for "sun" is "tuvan", which has been passed down through generations?
