Siutcanga (English: "the place of the oaks"), alternatively spelled Syútkanga,[1] was a Tataviam and Tongva village that was located in what is now Los Encinos State Historic Park near the site of a natural spring.[2] The traditional trading route which the village relied on to flourish is now the street known as Ventura Boulevard.[2] The Fernandeño Tataviam Band of Mission Indians organization has indicated that the majority of their members descend from the village and maintain a deep relationship to the site.[2][3] People of the village are known as Siutcavitam.[4]
