Asuksa-nga (also Azucsagna or Asucsagna, or Ashuksha-vit in the neighboring Serrano dialect of Shoshone[2]) was a former Tongva-Gabrieleño Californian Native American settlement in the San Gabriel Valley. The name means "Skunk place" or "Skunk hill," with Asuksa meaning skunk and the locative suffix -nga or -vit meaning place.[3][4] The settlement was located in Los Angeles County, California.[5][4]
It was located where the San Gabriel River exits the San Gabriel Mountains, in present-day Azusa and Duarte.[5]
