Instructional Books

Lushootseed 1 & 2 are the only instructional books endorsed by Vi Hilbert and Lushootseed Research.

These instructional texts are the results of more than thirty years of research, collaboration and consultation with the University of Washington and many respected elders from several Coast Salish tribes of the Pacific Northwest where Lushootseed is the indigenous language.
