Acknowledgements
Above all else, we offer our deepest thanks to the Yurok elders who have patiently taught us so much about their language, culture, and history — especially 'aawokw Aileen Figueroa, Ollie Foseide, Jimmie James, Glenn Moore Sr., Archie Thompson, Georgiana Trull, and Jessie Van Pelt — and to those before them whose voices and words we hope will live forever.
Participants
The Yurok Language Project was established by Juliette Blevins, now at the City University of New York, and Andrew Garrett of UC Berkeley. Many students have worked with us over the years. For their assistance in language documentation, philology, linguistic analysis, language revitalization, and computational projects we are especially grateful to Lisa Conathan, Anna Jurgensen, Herman Leung, Adrienne Mamin, Rachel Maxson, Yoram Meroz, Mary Paster, Alysoun Quinby, William Richard, Ruth Rouvier, Kevin Ryan, and Tess Wood.
