Interview with Pamela Villaseñor, Executive Director of Pukúu Cultural Community Services

In this episode—co-hosted by Dr. Alex Ojeda—we’re joined by Pamela Villaseñor, Executive Director of Pukúu Cultural Community Services, founded by members of the Fernandeño Tataviam Band of Mission Indians. We explore how Pukúu advances Indigenous empowerment through culturally grounded community services and scholarships, housing initiatives for Native elders, and youth-led advocacy such as policy work around Missing and Murdered Indigenous Peoples. The conversation also highlights Indigenous Peoples Day, the purpose of land acknowledgments, and ways colleges like Los Angeles Valley College can honor Indigenous land, language, and culture through authentic partnership. If you’re interested in building lasting campus–community collaborations, this episode offers a clear and hopeful roadmap.
