Our Language yaʔ jano The Northern Pomo language is one of the seven distinct Pomoan languages traditionally spoken by the Pomo people of Northern California.

Despite these challenges, efforts to revitalize and preserve Northern Pomo are ongoing. The Coyote Valley Band of Pomo Indians is actively working to reawaken the language through language classes, cultural programs, and intergenerational learning initiatives. These efforts help ensure that younger generations can connect with their heritage and keep the language alive.
