Salish Mythology
The mythology Salish includes the following Native American peoples: Bella Coola, Nuxálk, Flathead, Kalispel, Pend D'oreille, Spokane
The term salish refers, linguistically, culturally or ethnographically, to Native American populations originating in southern British Columbia in Canada and northern Washington, Idaho and Montana in the United States, whose languages of origin have common characteristics.
The term Salish brings together many distinct tribes more or less close to each other according to their language, their culture or their ancestral way of life. A classification is therefore not easy. However, three major ethnic families can be distinguished:
- The Bella Coola (or Nuxálk) who live on the north coast of British Columbia
- The Coast Salish who live around the straits of Georgia and Juan de Fuca
- The Interior Salish who live inland on either side of the British Columbia-Washington border.
