List of Lushootseed-speaking peoples

(Redirected from Lushootseed people)

The Lushootseed-speaking peoples, sometimes known as the Lushootseed people,[1][2] are a group of peoples Indigenous to the Pacific Northwest who are linguistically related along the Lushootseed dialect continuum.

Lushootseed-speaking groups were traditionally politically autonomous at the local, or village, level, so there was no historical term to refer to all Lushootseed-speaking peoples.[3] Words like (dxʷ)ləšucid ʔacʔaciɬtalbixʷ or ʔacʔaciɬtalbixʷ kʷi gʷədxʷləšucideb (lit. "Lushootseed peoples" or "Peoples who speak Lushootseed") are sometimes used in modern times.[4]

All historically-attested extended village groups or bands are listed, grouped by modern-day tribal units, sub-units, and further sub-units:
