The soil treatment plan follows a conflict that began between the university and local tribes in 2019, when CSULB dumped dirt from a nearby construction project on Puvungna, which is used for ceremonies and spiritual gatherings.

A woman is standing in Puvungna. She is surrounded by grass and plants, and buildings and a car are slightly visible in the background. Trees with ribbons are on her right, and ancestor poles, also with ribbons, are behind her and to her left. Out-of-focus flowers are visible in front of her.
