List of Lushootseed-speaking peoples
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a list of Indigenous peoples who speak, or historically spoke, the Lushootseed language. Lushootseed-speaking groups were traditionally politically autonomous at the local, or village, level, so there is no one term to unite all Lushootseed-speaking peoples.[1] Words like (dxʷ)ləšucid ʔacʔaciɬtalbixʷ or ʔacʔaciɬtalbixʷ kʷi gʷədxʷləšucideb (lit. "Lushootseed peoples" or "Peoples who speak Lushootseed") are sometimes used in modern times.[2] Sometimes, anthropologists have grouped all Lushootseed-speaking peoples together as the "Lushootseed people."[3] All historically-attested extended village groups or bands are listed, grouped by modern-day tribal units, sub-units, and further sub-units.
