Coast Salish People


This article by Micheal Marker is about the Coast Salish people. Coast Salish people are Native Americans who live northwestern United States and the southwestern part of Canada. They are considered to be one group of people today however they came under attack at one point, which separated them into two tribes. Governments have been trying to assimilate the Salish people in order to destroy their common connections. Their attempts have included schools, which strip children from their native culture. The article ends explaining how Coast Salish people are trying to re-claim their rights and eliminate discrimination.
