Lushootseed Place Names – Google My Maps

⚠⚠⚠ WIP - READ DESCRIPTION ⚠⚠⚠ haʔɬ adsɬčil dxʷʔal ti swatixʷtəd ʔal dxʷləšucid! This is my map of Lushootseed place names. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- [BRACKETS] represent a transliteration or my "unofficial" reconstruction of the name. They are subject to change and are not proper Lushootseed. -- Red represents areas which speak Northern Lushootseed. -- Blue represents areas which speak Southern Lushootseed. -- Grey represents names that are outside of the Lushootseed-speaking world, and places too generic to categorize either way. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- See a full references list and more information about house sites here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/13dvGtWAkDp8UTkANOv1NtCt8TubBA6NNZnN8EyBy3cM/edit?usp=sharing -- This Google Doc both serves as additional information, mostly for house sites and where I saw fit, as well as a bibliography. Places not included in the document will have sources on the map. -- You can show and hide the layers if you want. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- See an alternative map with different colors representing all the tribes: https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/edit?mid=1z4jX2AmIJXmWq1NstbeMLxh2LniNJsQ&usp=sharing ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PLEASE contact me ([email protected]) if you have suggestions, corrections, or anything else! Also, if you have good pictures of a place, especially from the water, I would love to use them! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS: Many thanks to Sarah Miller and the Tulalip Lushootseed Department for providing language classes and teaching me Lushootseed. This work would not be possible without the great generosity of the elders who shared their language with us over the years, as well as the countless modern-day language warriors who continue to fight for this language. I would also like to thank all the wonderful folks at the many Language and Culture departments and tribes I have talked to to work on this project, who I cannot list as I am running out of space in this description!
