  • The Klallam Language Program (USA) Received: Fall 2005; Last Update: Summer 2007
    UNESCO REGISTER OF GOOD PRACTICES IN LANGUAGE PRESERVATION The Klallam Language Program (USA) Received: fall 2005; last update: summer 2007 Brief description: This report describes the successive steps of a comprehensive community-based revitalization project of a language that was spoken by only a few elder members of the community. The well-funded, long-term project involves documentation, developing teaching materials with strong support of the remaining speakers, introducing the Native language into public school curricula and training teachers. The language in question is Klallam, a language of the Salishan family, Straits group, spoken in the north-western United States (North Olympic Peninsula, Clallam County, Washington). It currently has fewer than five first language speakers, but by now over two hundred people have studied it as a second language. The main location of the project is the Elwha Klallam Reservation near Port Angeles. The program, which started in the early 1990s, grew out of documenting and recording activities of the Klallam language. The foundation was laid with summer language courses and a master-apprentice pilot program. Today, through strong individual, community and public support, Klallam language and culture are part of the school curriculum in the community from pre-school to high school level. Teaching materials (curricula, a grammar, computer games) have been developed by teachers and the tribal linguist in consultation with elders. Further, a teacher qualification and certification system is in place, implemented by the Klallam Language Board. This system has contributed to state-wide standard- setting. Additional effects of the project range from enhanced language competence and school success of Native American students to empowering communities, establishing local networks and creating employment.

  • Klallam Demonstratives1
    Klallam demonstratives1 Timothy Montler University of North Texas The Klallam language has a set of demonstrative determiners composed of small phonological units marking notions of specific, non-specific, definite, feminine, invisible, proximal, and distal. This note updates and expands upon the componential analysis provided by Thompson and Thompson 1971. 1 Introduction The demonstratives in Klallam usually function as determiners. However, most of them can also stand alone as demonstrative pronouns. As determiners, they are a required specifier preceding any non-predicative noun. As demonstrative pronouns, they may occur in any position a noun can in a sentence—subject, direct object or prepositional object—but do not themselves occur with a determiner and, unlike nouns and focus pronouns (such as ʔǝ́c ‘I’, nǝ́kʷ ‘you’), they are never predicative. Thompson and Thompson (1971:265-266) provide a detailed componential analysis of the Klallam demonstrative system. They identify eleven basic elements (finals -i, -ǝ, -anu, -ayǝ, -iʔǝ, and initials č-, c-, kʷ-, t-, ɬ-, s-) that can combine to form 46 observed demonstratives in two categories: basic and emphatic. The tables in (1) are modified reproductions of the tables in Thompson and Thompson (1971:266). (1a) Basic demonstrative determiners (adapted from Thompson and Thompson 1971) ɬǝ sǝ ɬǝs, ɬǝsǝ č či čǝ kʷ kʷi kʷǝ kʷɬi kʷɬǝ kʷsi kʷsǝ kʷssǝ kʷǝɬǝ kʷǝsǝ kʷɬǝsǝ kʷǝs kʷɬǝs t ti tǝ ci c(ǝ) tsi tsǝ csǝ tǝsǝ cǝsǝ tǝs cǝs 1 This paper has benefited greatly from the help of Klallam elders Adeline Smith and Bea Charles and their (great-)great-grand-niece, Wendy Sampson, who, when asked by an archeologist if Klallam was like Eskimo with a hundred words for ʻsnowʼ said, “No, but itʼs got a hundred words for ʻtheʼ!” Ivy Doakʼs suggestions and comments have made this better than it would have been.

  • WDFW's November 24, 2015 Anthropological Report Finding No
    Review of Information in S’Klallam Tribes’ August 2015 Report on S’Klallam Hunting in the WDFW Sol Duc (607) and Southern Dickey (602) Game Management Units This document is subject to ER 408 Submitted to: Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife Submitted by: Historical Research Associates, Inc. Gail Thompson, PhD Seattle, Washington November 2015 Executive Summary The Jamestown and the Port Gamble S’Klallam Tribes seek to demonstrate an aboriginal hunting ground in parts of the Soleduck and Dickey River drainages that the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) designates the Sol Duc (607) and Dickey (602) Game Management Units (GMUs). To accomplish this, the S’Klallam Tribes need to provide evidence under the Washington Supreme Court’s 1999 Buchanan Decision (State v. Buchanan 138 Wn.2d 186, 978 P.2d 1070 (1999)), which states that a tribe’s hunting areas include its treaty-ceded lands and “may include other areas if those areas are proven to have been actually used for hunting and occupied by the . Tribe over an extended period of time” (Buchanan 978 P2.d 1070 at 1081). The Sol Duc and southern Dickey GMUs lie outside the lands ceded in the S’Klallam Tribes’ Treaty of Point No Point (1855) and within the lands ceded by the Quileute and Quinault Tribes in the Treaty of Olympia (1856). A drainage divide between the waters that flow north into the Strait of Juan de Fuca from those running southwest to the Pacific Ocean separates the treaty-ceded lands. The S’Klallam Tribes previously provided an Interim Report (Wisniewski 2014) asserting S’Klallam hunting in the Sol Duc and southern Dickey GMU sections as well as other GMUs and more recently submitted a longer report (“S’Klallam Report;” Wisniewski 2015) regarding S’Klallam aboriginal hunting in these areas.

  • "When the Tide Is Out" an Ethnographic Study of Nearshore Use on the Northern Olympic Peninsula
    "When the Tide is Out" An Ethnographic Study of Nearshore Use on the Northern Olympic Peninsula by Beatrice Charles (Elwha), Vince Cooke (Makah), Elaine Grinnell (Jamestown), Chris Morganroth III (Quileute), Lela Mae Morganroth (Quileute), Melissa Peterson (Makah), Viola Riebe (Hoh), Adeline Smith (Elwha), and Jacilee Wray (Olympic National Park) November 2004 8 Quileute children on beach with whale (previous page) by Harvey Smith, circa 1890, courtesy Ed Maupin 9 Introduction This ethnographic study concerning nearshore species and habitat contains recollections and knowledge from members of the Elwha Klallam, Jamestown S'Klallam, Hoh, Quileute, and Makah tribes. The report is enhanced by anthropological and linguistic research with the Quileute and Hoh conducted by Dr. Jay Powell from the 1960s to the present. A few early ethnographic works are also referenced, including Erna Gunther's ethnographic research with the Klallam and T.T. Waterman's early place name research with the Makah and Klallam. This is only a small representation of information and is not an exhaustive study. If a species is not discussed, this does not mean that it was or is not important to the tribes of the peninsula, or that it did not exist in a given area. It must also be noted that the focus here is individual use, and does not address commercial fisheries and tribal enterprises. Within the text the first time a person's name is given, their birth year is included to help the reader recognize the time frame. Native language words appear in several phonetic font systems. The Klallam and Quileute words are standardized, with the assistance of linguists Dr.

    AMERICAN INDIAN LAW JOURNAL Volume II, Issue I – Fall 2013 TRIBAL ADVOCACY AND THE ART OF DAM REMOVAL: THE LOWER ELWHA KLALLAM AND THE ELWHA DAMS Julia Guarino* United States Dep’t. of Commerce & Nat’l Marine Fisheries Serv., Elwha River Fish Restoration Plan, Developed Pursuant to the Elwha River, Ecosystem and Fisheries Restoration Act, Pub. L. No. 102-495, NOAA Technical Memorandum NMFSNWFSC-90, fig. 1 at 2 (2008). 114 AMERICAN INDIAN LAW JOURNAL Volume II, Issue I – Fall 2013 INTRODUCTION: THE TREND TOWARD DAM REMOVAL AND THE ROLE OF TRIBAL ADVOCACY The lower dam immediately blocked the spawning migrations of salmon and steelhead. As one wades the riffles, fishes the pools, and explores the Elwha and its tributaries above the dam, it becomes clear that the salmon and steelhead are absent. Biologically speaking, the river is a shadow of its former self. Before the Elwha Dam was built, the river produced approximately 400,000 salmon and steelhead a year, with some chinook weighing over 100 pounds. It is an odd experience to be deep in the Elwha River valley, surrounded by healthy forest, viewing a clean and healthy river ecosystem, and comprehend the diminished river. While magnificent, beautiful, and even transcendent, the river exudes a fundamental emptiness that is the legacy of settlement and development—a legacy specifically due to the two aging dams and the historical and economic processes that culminated in their construction.1 The big dam-building era is over, and though it will be a long journey, we have begun to move toward dam removal for ecological, economic, and social reasons.
