  • the man speaking was hank not gonna say last name for condidentiality reason.. but hes my great uncle and my grandmas brother....

  • That is really, really cool. I love these videos and was hoping that the Tulalip tribe would post the videos that I haven't posted. I'm guessing if you're a member of the tribe, you probably learned a bit of Lushootseed yourself. You should post some videos!

  • heyyy! i kno da dude who talkin!

  • For real? How?

  • Billy Frank just spoke at SPSCC.  I learned alot about why the native culture is important

  • That's awesome. I used to go to SPS, but I live in NY now.  I remember them mentioning trying to get Lushootseed classes around the time I left. Did they ever get them?

  • Wow. This is the hardest language I have ever tried to pronounce. Maybe it was hard for me because I have never heard a language that sounded like anything this before and I have studied other languages. It's a shame that the educational system has never exposed Americans to native languages. I hope people will keep the language alive. (BTW, it would be really cool to hear Lushootseed in a rap.)

  • oh i miss lois hahah she was my teacher mannn shes awsome

  • Hi, my ancestors spoke this language and it was fascinating to hear it spoken today. I am interested in learning to say some things in Lushootseed.
