Kashaya speakers are part of the Kashia Band of Pomo Indians, and live on the Stewarts Point Rancheria in Sonoma County. The name Kashaya means "skillful" and "expert gambler" in neighbouring languages. The language is also known as Southwestern Pomo.
This alphabet was created by Robert Oswalt in 1961.
