With the Salish Language Dictionary, explore the depth of Coast Salish culture.
E N D
The majority of Coast Salish people have depended on fishing as the cornerstone of their culture and survival for their entire history, which is really helpful when learning the Salish language. They resided in settlements on the mainland and across the San Juan Islands, and they created the reef net, weir, and purse seine fishing techniques that are still employed today. The spiritual connection between Lummi history and culture and the salmon is demonstrated by ceremonies and tales about salmon and salmon fishing, such as The First Salmon Ceremony and The Tale of the Salmon Woman, which have been passed down through the years.
