The Coast Salish People are a large, loose grouping of many nations with numerous distinct cultures and languages, some of whom include the Duwamish, Snoqualmie, Muckleshoot and Sammamish tribes. These tribes and nations are still here, continuing to be stewards of their ancestral lands and waters, to honor and celebrate their heritage and pass down their knowledge to future generations.
