The term "Salish" refers to a group of Indigenous peoples and their languages primarily found in the Pacific Northwest region of North America. The Salish people have a rich cultural heritage, with traditions that include storytelling, art, and music. They are known for their deep connection to the land, which influences their way of life and spiritual beliefs. Salish languages are part of the larger Salishan language family, which includes several distinct languages spoken by different tribes. These languages are vital for preserving the history and culture of the Salish tribes, such as the Coast Salish and Interior Salish. Efforts are ongoing to revitalize these languages and keep the Salish culture alive for future generations.
