Northwest Coast Languages Bibliography
Over 24 different languages were once spoken by the
Native people of Washington State, and over 400 were spoken in North America.
After being forced to stop speaking their languages in boarding schools
in the early 20th century, today Native elders are struggling to preserve
and teach their languages to the younger generations.
Which culture speak which language? Consult this outline of Northwest Coast tribal and language names, including alternate terms.
