My Approach

I have been studying Wailaki language and culture since the early 2000's.


When I started, I only had access to Edward S Cullen and Native-languages.org.

Neither of these are a credible source, 

and I strongly discourage the use of either.

 

Access has always been limited, but there are many resources available today that were not available even five years ago.


I won't remake the wheel. the Wailaki Kunnes Bakang Ishjii Naagai page hasn't been updated in awhile, but that is still the best place to connect with other Wailaki interested in the language.
