Hello, my name is Macie Gard and I'm an undergraduate student majoring in linguistics. To help out the Native American Language Center as a research assistant, I'm currently working on digitizing archival texts of Patwin. In the future, I hope to go into language revitalization because I believe strongly in the importance of the autonomy of Indigenous Nations to speak and reclaim their own languages and cultures. I'm very excited to continue my work here at NALC!
