What's new on our site today!
As a complement to our Lushootseed language information, we would like to share our
collection of indexed links about the Puget Sound Salish people and various aspects of their society. In addition to the general links about Puget Sound
Indian culture on this page, please see our specific pages on the
Duwamish,
Muckleshoot,
Nisqually,
Puyallup,
Sahewamish,
Sauk-Suiattle,
Skagit,
Skykomish,
Snohomish,
Snoqualmie,
Squaxin,
Stillaguamish,
Suquamish, and
Swinomish tribes.
The emphasis of these pages is on American Indians as a living people with a present and a future as well as a past. Salish history is interesting and
important, but the Puget Sound tribes are still here today, too, and we try to feature modern authors as well as traditional
folklore, contemporary artwork as well as museum pieces, and the issues and struggles of today as well as the tragedies
of yesterday. Suggestions for new links are always welcome.
