    Cowlitz Indian Tribe Fall Newsletter 2011 Yooyoola! CHAIRMAN’S CORNER Bill Iyall I am proud to serve as Chairman of the Cowlitz Tribe and to celebrate all of the accomplishments we have made together as a people. We have come a long way during the past few years through the process of self-governance and self-determination. We stand strong as co-managers of both natural and cultural resources in our homeland. We have confidence in our future with great promise of successful economic development and social services, providing employment opportunities and much needed resources for our Tribal members and the local communities. We celebrate the culmination of years of effort seeking a Cowlitz reservation. I would like to acknowledge the efforts made by our tribe throughout history to regain a place of our own in our homeland. Many have worked hard on our behalf and they rejoice with us today. Congratulations to all of the Cowlitz Indian Tribe. Your determination and dedication have all played an important role in this historic achievement. As we move into the fall of 2011, the Cowlitz Indian Tribe has held many important events already this year, including the Canoe Journey from Fort Vancouver to Swinomish, the Canoe Races and Canoe family honoring dinner at Mayfield Lake, the First Salmon Ceremony at Olequa, Kids Camp, Huckleberry Camp, the Twelfth Annual Cowlitz Pow Wow at Saint Mary’s, the Health Walk. Thank you to all of our Cowlitz members, Culture Committee, and our staff for their effort, time and dedication in making the preceding events possible.

Investments range from hotels to golf 1 courses to shopping centers. 19 Tribes employ more than 30,000 people statewide and pay more than $1.5 billion annually in wages and benefits. Capital spending, and the purchase of goods and services from private companies, adds billions more dollars to the state’s economy each year.

  • Cowlitz (Name for Themselves Is Stl'pumsh), Language: Lower Cowlitz Language (Stl'pulimuhkl), Language Family: Salishan Language Family
    1. Description 1.1 Name of society, language, and language family: Society: Cowlitz (Name for themselves is Stl'pumsh), Language: Lower Cowlitz Language (Stl'pulimuhkl), Language Family: Salishan Language Family. *The original Cowlitz language has been lost* (2, “Lower Cowlitz Language”) The Upper Cowlitz took on a different (Sahaptin) language from their “Lower” counterparts. “Lower Cowlitz was a Salishan language of Washington state, related to Chehalis. The people called themselves Stl'pulmsh-- Cowlitz was the name of the river whose banks they lived on. The Upper Cowlitz, who used to live further up the same river, is a Sahaptin tribe who spoke a dialect of the unrelated Yakama language. Forced together onto the same reservation, the two tribes rapidly lost their languages, and today neither Cowlitz Salish nor Cowlitz Sahaptian is spoken any longer.” (2, “Lower Cowlitz Language) 1.2 ISO code (3 letter code from ethnologue.com): ISO 639: cow 1.3 Location (latitude/longitude): Southwestern Washington, Kelso (the seat of Cowlitz County and an original Cowlitz village) is located at Latitude: N 46° 8' 48.4044" Longitude: W 122° 54' 30.4002" (7) 1.4 Brief history: “The Cowlitz Indians were originally considered to be "a large and powerful Salishan tribe." Because they were an interior tribe (that is, their territory did not open onto a large body of water), they were more cohesive than other Salish groups on the coast and Columbia River, said anthropologist Verne Ray, who has intensively studied the tribe. One of the earliest accounts describes their swoop downriver to attack a Chinookan village at the mouth of the Cowlitz.
