There was discussion about possible locations for hosting a canoe journey in conjunction with the other Medicine Creek Treaty Tribes. The canoe jour- neys are growing rapidly and there would have to be adequate lodging for thousands of people. Sis Brownfi eld publicly congratulated Chris Peters on his "professional and decent behavior" in his role as a law enforcement offi cer. The Learning Center (TLC) Director Kim Coo- per talked about discussions with Boys & Girls Clubs to see whether the Tribe might want to coordinate programs with them or use them as models for more tribally-oriented programs. Harry Fletcher asked about meals being brought to Elders' homes and transportation to appointments. He was told a person has been hired to do this work and should begin very soon. Tribal members gathered on Saturday, January 7th, for their semi-annual General Body meeting to talk about their concerns, discuss possible solutions and join in friendship over a potluck dinner and chili cook-off. Things discussed included the need for a Safe House, a Halfway House, a Community Recreation Center with a swimming pool and fi tness center, a plan for artists to market their products, more housing (stop turning purchased homes into offi ces), more options for relaying of clams, better animal control, a home for foster care, a plan for hosting a canoe journey in this area, more participation in Shelton School District activities, funding to provide more health services and increased police presence on the reservation.

  • CHAPTER 1: RESERVATION PROFILE Tribal Background
    Squaxin LRTP 2009 Update * June 23, 2008 D R A F T * Profile Page 1 CHAPTER 1: RESERVATION PROFILE Tribal Background The Squaxin Island Tribe members are the descendants of the maritime people who historically lived along the shores and watersheds of South Puget Sound and its seven inlets. Because of their strong cultural connection with the water, they are also known as the People of the Water. Squaxin Island, four and a half miles long and a half mile wide (1443-acres), is centered near the entrances to the seven inlets of southern Puget Sound - Noo-Seh-Chatl, Steh Chass, Squi-Aitl, Sawamish/T'Peeksin, Sa-Heh-Wa- Mish, Squawksin, and S'Hotle-Ma-Mish. The Squaxin Island Reservation was established under the Treaty of Medicine Creek in 1854. The Squaxin ancestors were confined to the Island during the Indian War of 1856-57. After the war, the island’s population dwindled (no drinking water) as people left to take up permanent residence near their original homes. Although there are no year-round residents on Squaxin Island today, it continues to be regularly used by tribal members for fishing, hunting, shellfish gathering, camping, and other activities. After the General Allotment Act of 1887, the tribe gained off-reservation trust lands (about 36 acres) on Harstine Island across Peale Passage in Mason County and across Pickering Passage from Squaxin Island (about 6 acres) in Thurston County. Tribal headquarters are now located in Kamilche (18 miles northwest of Olympia and 8 miles south of Shelton) in Mason County between Little Skookum and Totten Inlets.

    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 419 409 FL 025 252 AUTHOR Anderson, Gregory D. S. TITLE Reduplicated Numerals in Salish. PUB DATE 1997-00-00 NOTE 11p.; For complete volume, see FL 025 251. PUB TYPE Journal Articles (080) Reports Research (143) JOURNAL CIT Kansas Working Papers in Linguistics; v22 n2 p1-10 1997 EDRS PRICE MF01/PC01 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *American Indian Languages; Contrastive Linguistics; Language Patterns; *Language Research; Language Variation; *Linguistic Theory; Number Systems; *Salish; *Structural Analysis (Linguistics); Uncommonly Taught Languages ABSTRACT A salient characteristic of the morpho-lexical systems of the Salish languages is the widespread use of reduplication in both derivational and inflectional functions. Salish reduplication signals such typologically common categories as "distributive/plural," "repetitive/continuative," and "diminutive," the cross-linguistically marked but typically Salish notion of "out-of-control" or more restricted categories in particular Salish languages. In addition to these functions, reduplication also plays a role in numeral systems of the Salish languages. The basic forms of several numerals appear to be reduplicated throughout the Salish family. In addition, correspondences among the various Interior Salish languages suggest the association of certain reduplicative patterns with particular "counting forms" referring to specific nominal categories. While developments in the other Salish language are frequently more idiosyncratic and complex, comparative evidence suggests that the

  • Chapter Two: the Background on Skwxwú7mesh
    Chapter Two: The Background on Skwxwú7mesh 1 Introduction The purpose of this thesis is to explore the semantics of Skwxwú7mesh D-determiners, and to compare them to English D-determiners. 1 In this chapter I provide some background to facilitate understanding of the proposals made in the next few chapters. In particular, I give an overview of the syntax and morphology of Skwxwú7mesh as these topics are necessary for understanding the data and analysis provided later in the thesis. I begin with the language family. Skwxwú7mesh is a Central (or Coast) Salish language spoken in southwestern British Columbia. The list of Salish languages is given in Table 2.1 below. Languages marked with * are extinct. 1 Recall that this term does not include quantifiers, numerals or demonstratives. 13 Branch Language Dialects Nuxalk (Bella Coola) Central Salish Comox Sliammon, Klahoose, Homalko, Island Comox Pentlatch* Sechelt Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish) Halkomelem Chilliwack/Upriver Halkomelem, Musqueam, Nanaimo/Cowichan Nooksack* Northern Straits Semiahmoo, Saanich, Lummi, Songish, Samish, Sooke Klallam Lushootseed Northern, Southern Twana* Tillamook* Tsamosan Upper Chehalis Satsop, Oakville, Tenino Cowlitz* Lower Chehalis Quinault* Interior Northern St’át’imcets (Lillooet) Mount Currie/Lower Lillooet, Fountain/Upper Lillooet N®e÷kepmxcín (Thompson) Secwepemctsín (Shuswap) Eastern, Western Southern Okanagan Northern, Southern/Colville Moses-Columbian Kalispel Spokane, Kalispel, Flathead Coeur d’Alene Table 2.1: The Salish language family (adapted from Thompson and Kinkade 1990: 34-35) The D-determiner systems of some of these languages will be addressed in Chapter 6. Skwxwú7mesh is extremely endangered. There are fewer than twenty speakers remaining. I worked with seven native speakers (five female and two male) in order to gather the data necessary for this dissertation.

When I entered the door and saw the condition of Will, burnt up in a fire, bandaged from his knees to his head, I was shaking inside.

Forty-nine square miles of the Nooksack watershed is in Canada. It has three main forks: the North, Middle, and South that Bellingham originate in the steep high-elevation headwaters of the North Cascades and flow westerly descending into flats of the Puget lowlands.The North and Middle Forks are glacial rivers and originate from Mount Baker. The South Fork is a snow/rain fed river and Watersheds of originates from the non-glaciated slope of theTwin Sisters peaks. The WRIA 01 Middle Fork flows into the North Fork upstream of where the North Fork confluences with the South Fork to form the mainstem Nooksack River. The mainstem then flows as a low-gradient, low-elevation river until discharging through the Lummi Nation and into Bellingham Bay. Historically, the Nooksack River alternated between discharging into Bellingham Bay, and flowing through the Lummi River and discharging into Lummi Bay (Collins and Sheikh 2002). The Nooksack River has five anadromous salmon species: pink, chum , Chinook , coho, sockeye; and three anadromous trout: steelhead, cutthroat and bull trout (Williams et al. 1975; Cutler et al. 2003).
