The Coast Salish are a Salishan-speaking First Nations/Native American culture that inhabited an area centered in southwestern British Columbia in Canada and western Washington in the United States for several millennia up to the time of arrival of the Europeans in the 19th century.
A branch of the Coast Salish, including the Tillamook and related tribes, established themselves on the coast of Oregon south of the Chinookan peoples at the mouth of the Columbia River.
The BitterrootSalish are one of three tribes of the Confederated Salish and KootenaiTribes of the Flathead Nation in Montana.
Salish Elders say that they, and many other tribes, were placed on this earth as one Salishan-speaking people.
Several large bands of Salish (later misnamed Flatheads) camped throughout Montana from the Bitterroot to the Yellowstone Valleys; however, encroachment from non-Indians led to the eventual concentration of the tribe in the Bitterroot Valley.
Each tribe had a leader or leaders who governed by consensus, and who were guided and advised by large numbers of respected elders.
