January 20, 2025

Andrew GarrettMadeleine StraitRhosean Asmah, and Julia Peck attended the January workshop of the Yurok Language Program in Klamath on the Yurok Reservation, where Andrew led a session on numerals and the Yurok lunar calendar system. Andrew was recognized with a gift and gratitude for his longtime engagement and prioritization of community requests and needs! They also visited Rek'woy, the place where the Klamath River, now undammed thanks in part to Yurok and Karuk activism, flows freely into the Pacific Ocean (pictured).
