The major learning experience I have had is working with fluent speakers for 3 years in a Master/Apprentice program which was sponsored by the Native California Network in Sebastopol, CA. I have worked with Hupa speakers Calvin Carpenter and Ruth Beck. Other Hupa teams have also participated in this program.
