Lupukngna

As a coastal site, villagers likely used te'aats (pictured) to navigate the coastline.

Lupukngna was a coastal Tongva village that was at least 3,000 years old located on the bluffs along the Santa Ana River in Huntington Beach near the Newland House Museum.[1][2] Other nearby coastal villages included Genga, located in West Newport Beach, and Moyongna, located down the coast near Corona del Mar.[2][3] The village has also been referred to as Lukup and Lukupa.[4][1] The village has been chronicled in the history of Costa Mesa, California.[5]
