Quileute is spoken at present by 180 individuals at the mouth of the Quileute river, on the northwestern coast of the state of Washington. About 15 miles further south, at the mouth of the Hoh river, there survive a few members of the Hoh tribe, whose speech, according to several Quileute informants, differs only slightly from theirs. Quileute has always been affihated with Chemakum, the language once spoken in the same state near Port Townsend. The writer had the opportunity of working for a few hours with the last survivor of the Chemakum tribe, Luise Webster. A study of the material collected previously by Professor Boas^, together with the scanty data recorded on this occasion, confirms the close relationship which has been claimed for these two languages. It must be remark- ed, however, that even in the hmited information available there is a considerable proportion of unrelated words as weU as some im- portant grammatical differences. From the phonetic notes pubhshed by Professor Boas, and so far as we may judge from our brief contact with Chemakum, we may infer that the sounds of the two languages are very similar. Among the most outstanding differences, we may mention first, that the Chemakum m and n are replaced by the Quileute 6 and d, respectively. The latter sounds do not occur in Chemakum, and m, n are found in Quileute only when quoting the speech of the mythologic giantess Da's-k'iya". Secondly, the Chemakum vowels seem to be less variable than the Quileute, and the tonal characteristics of the Quileute accent do not seem to exist in Chemakum. At least, they were not found in a number of Chemakum words decidedly cognate with those which present such tonal characteristics in Quileute. Nor were such tonal features found by Professor Boas in 1890, when Luise Webster must have had a more vivid recollection of the language, as she stiU spoke it occasionally with her brother. At the time of our acquaintance, this informant had forgotten most of her language. A cursory comparison with other languages of the north Pacific coast discloses a number of significant points of contact between Quileute and the Wakashan stock. ^ I refer to his field notes, which he kindly placed at my disposal, as well as to his "Notes on the Chemakum Language," in the American Anthropolo- gist for January, 1892. I have also examined a Chemakum vocabulary collected by Dr. Livingston Farrand. 152 ANDRADE QUrLETJTB The linguistic material on which the present account is based consists of 52 myths, vocabularies and grammatical notes recorded by Dr. Leo J. Frachtenberg in the summer of 1915 and in the summer and fall of 1916; and of 26 mjrths and other texts collected by the author in the summer of 1928 under the auspices of the Committee on Research in Native American Languages. The texts will be found in Volume XII of the Columbia University Contri- butions to Anthropology. About two years before going to the field, the author was given an opportunity to study Dr. Frachtenberg's texts and notes, from which the structure of the language was inferred to the extent that the material permitted. The six weeks spent in the field in 1928 were devoted mainly to the solution of certain problems which required additional information. The presence of four types of accentual phenomena distinguished by the characteristic pitch and duration of the accented vowel retarded the work considerably, for this feature, which had not been observed before, entailed a revision of all the material previously collected, as well as a close examination of the grammatical principles which had been derived therefrom. For the study of these accentual types additional material was recorded besides the 26 myths above mentioned. This amount of material proved to be insufficient for reasons which will be pointed out at the proper place. Hence the writer feels that the present account of the language is incomplete in regard to the principles which govern the changes in the position and type of accent, as well as to other facts, which a sufficient amount of text material might reveal. These limitations have been kept in mind, and con- clusions which have been reached on an insufficient number of facts wiU be presented with the proper caution. On the whole, however, one may be confident that further study would not alter the presentation of the essential structural features. This statement applies in particular to our characterization of the formatives treated under the heading of Objective Relations. The complex problem presented by these formatives was duly taken into account before going to the field, and it was kept in mind throughout the time spent there. The amount of data available on this point seems quite adequate to support our conclusions. Dr. Frachtenberg's informant was Hallie George, a half-blood Quileute who spoke Enghsh fluently. All the myths collected by the writer were dictated by Sei'xtis, one of the oldest members of the tribe who spoke no other language than Quileute. For the transla- tion of the myths given by Sei'xtis, as well as for additional text and grammatical material, I am indebted to Mr. Jack Ward, a full- blood Quileute, 45 years of age. Mr. Ward, whose Indian name, idaxe'b, may be taken as evidence of the kinship which he claims HANDBOOK OF AMERICAN INDIAN LANGUAGES 153 to have with the last of the Chemakum "chiefs", Q'naxem, has an excellent command of the EngHsh language. His brother, Eli Ward, furnished some of the material collected for phonetic and grammat- ical purposes. He also had a good knowledge of English. The pronunciation of many other members of the tribe was carefully observed, and several of them were questioned to determine the prevalent articulation of sounds in which individual differences had been detected. The following abbreviations have been used; QT. refers to Quileute Texts by Manuel J. Andrade, Columbia University Con- tributions to Anthropology, Volume XII, 1931.

I acknowledge my obhgations to the Committee on Reasearch in Native American Languages, and particularly to Professor Franz Boas for invaluable help received in various ways. Should there be any quahties worthy of note in the present study, they are to be attributed to the influence of the critical rigor which characterizes his work. New York, May 10, 1929. Manuel J. Andrade. QUILEUTE BY MANUEL J. ANDRADE PHONOLOGY. In the following description of Quileute sounds the speech of the older members of the tribe has been taken as the standard. Individ- ual differences exist, as in all languages. Moreover, some of the divergences from the standard adopted here seem to be rather prevalent and uniform among the younger generation. If this observation is accurate, the fact may be attributed either to the prevalence of bihngual individuals among the younger Quileute, or to a natural drift of the language within one generation^. For one of the most obvious differences one might be tempted to postulate a social cause. The harsh, cracking sounds of q' and CI are much softer among the young folk, who because of their fluent command of Enghsh are in more intimate contact with the white people. These sounds frequently provoke ridicule from some of the Whites upon hearing them for the first time, and even those to whom these sounds are more or less famiHar frequently mimic them in a grotesque manner when jesting with the Indians. This may exert a restraining influence upon the younger Quileute who as a rule seem to be very sensitive to ridicule and aspire to social equaUty with the Whites. Of the several phonetic variations which seem to exist between the pronunciations of these two age groups, only the most noticeable will be mentioned, for, as many phoneticians may concede, acoustic impressions are not very reliable for an accurate determination of such distinctions, particularly if they are to be observed in an unfamihar language. ^ Instances of phonetic changes that have taken place within one generation are not rare among illiterate peoples. The writer has conclusive evidence that a change from a clear Z-sound to a distinct d has taken place within 60 or 70 years in Mopan, a Mayan dialect spoken in Guatemala and in British Honduras. A similar situation was found in the village of Liinkini, state of Campeche, Mexico, where Yucatecan Maya is spoken. HANDBOOK OF AMERICAN INDIAN LANGUAGES 155 CONSONANTS. The Quileute consonants may be tabulated as follows i^ Plosive Fricative Affricative . 156 ANDRATE QUILEUTE q'x\ The continuation of the process of glottahzation throughout the period of such articulations is particularly noticeable in the affricatives fl, t's.

  • Administration for Native Americans: 2014 Native Language Project Compendium
    2014 NATIVE LANGUAGE PROJECT COMPENDIUM LETTER FROM THE COMMISSIONER June 2014 Greetings Mitayuke Oyasin, I am happy to provide this update on our shared work on Native Language Preservation and Maintenance. The information in this compendium highlights what our communities have been able to achieve with assistance from the Administration for Native Americans. Since the last Native Language meeting hosted by the Administration for Native Americans (ANA) in 2011, we have signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with the Department of Education and the Department of Interior as a way to work together across the federal family to support Native Language work. Through this Native Languages MOA, the Departments have agreed to the following goals: 1. Identify statutory or regulatory barriers that impede collaboration and result in duplication of efforts and/or minimize the impact of efforts on the part of Federal, state, or tribal governments, or schools or other entities to effectively implement Native language activities; 2. Identify research that explores educational attainment and Native language retention and/or revitalization; 3. Explore ways to gather data about effective and/or exemplary Native language instruction both in terms of the administration of funds and programs, as well as program impact on educational achievement; disseminate information on best practices across Federal Agencies regarding program and instructional design, and institutional support for Native language instruction for AI/AN populations; 4. Review Federal funding mechanisms, explore means for coordinating funding opportunities to remove barriers, and simplify the process for potential grantees seeking to integrate Native language instruction and activities in educational settings; 5.

Over the next several decades, the Quileute were approached by many settlers and eventually agreed to a treaty that relinquished 800,000 acres to the white man, which they maintained fishing and hunting rights to. The treaty changed daily life of Quileute because it provided schooling, health, and vocational training which a white man by the name of A.W. Smith taught the Quileute people. The Quileute were hesitant of change and the Christian teacher did not receive a warm welcome when he changed each students name to a Christian version of their Quileute name. 1 Even though the schooling and vocational training was Christian based, the Quileute practiced a combination of Christianity, Protestantism, and Supernaturalism called Shakerism (95). The main difference discussed in multiple sources is marriage practices changing from strictly arranged with a high divorce rate to spousal choice with a lower divorce rate.
