The Salish Peoples are a group of Indigenous tribes primarily located in the Pacific Northwest region of North America. They are known for their rich cultural heritage, which includes traditional practices, languages, and art forms. The Salishan languages, spoken by these tribes, are part of a larger language family that includes several distinct dialects. Historically, the Salish Peoples relied on fishing, hunting, and gathering for sustenance, with salmon being a central part of their diet. They developed complex social structures and trade networks, often engaging with neighboring tribes. Today, many Salish communities continue to preserve their traditions while adapting to modern challenges.
