Wíiyukcan (California Indian Language Restoration Program)

Wíiyukcan, the California Indian Language Restoration Program, aims to revive and promote California's Indigenous languages. Recognizing that many Native languages are endangered or extinct, the program supports efforts such as language documentation, education, and community-led revitalization initiatives. It collaborates with Native communities to ensure their linguistic heritage is preserved, taught, and passed down to future generations. By providing resources, expert guidance, and fostering cultural pride, Wíiyukcan helps restore the linguistic diversity and cultural identity of California’s Native peoples.
