Na:tinixwe Mixine:whe (Hupa Language) is spoken by the Na:tinixwe people from the Hoopa Valley in Northern California.

This course was created by 7000 Languages' 2024 Language Revitalization Fellow, Carina Peterson and Xinewh-ding Inc. It is inspired by the Fluency Transfer System books modeled by Salish School of Spokane.

Our focus has been striving for fluency within our community with the use of recordings from our first-speaker elders. In order to obtain these recordings, we have worked with Verdena Parker and are actively reaching out to families within the community for permissions to use their family members’ recordings of elders past and present.

Pictured below are Verdena Parker (Xonchwiwh Sa:ts’) and Ned Jackson ne’en.

Ts’ehdiyah to the speakers and their families, and all others who have helped, and continue to help, with the development of this course!
