For Izzy Garcia, learning Northern Pomo became more than taking a language class. It created a close-knit community where every student began the journey together, learning side by side. As his understanding of the language grew, so did his connection to the people and culture around him, turning everyday conversations into meaningful reminders that the language is once again being spoken.

“That small sense of community is amazing.”
