P-22 laid to rest in a tribal ceremony in the santa monica mountains
The beloved mountain lion from L.A., P-22, was buried Saturday in an intimate tribal ceremony in the Santa Monica Mountains Saturday March 4, 2023.
Members of four local tribes led the ceremony to honor him. A small group of officials from organizations that had studied and championed P-22, including the National Park Service and the National Wildlife Federation, attended. During his 10 years living in Griffith Park, P-22 became a symbol of the wilderness still present in Southern California and how we can peacefully coexist with wildlife, even in the heart of one of the busiest cities in the world.
