Hello! I am PersusjCP (she/her) and I am from Cascadia, also known as the beautiful Pacific Northwest. I speak Northern (Snohomish/Tulalip)

Lushootseed, and I learned it at Tulalip from my friends at the language department. I'm not native, I just like Lushootseed, history, and anthropology.
I mostly focus on adding Lushootseed to articles, correcting incorrect information, and cleaning up articles focused on the Lushootseed-

speaking peoples of the Puget Sound.


I am a pretty new editor, and I only starting editing a lot in 2023. I always noticed lot of bad pages/errors/misinformation surrounding Indigenous

peoples of the PNW (everywhere, really) which really bugged me and it encouraged me to start editing.

Thanks for visiting my page!

A handy navbox I made:

To-do:

edit

Rewrite articles, lots of them. Focus on Lushootseed. Maybe when that's done do other stuff.

Pages to re-write and expand on:

edit

Minor Corrections

edit

Peoples

edit

Skagit peoples

  • Elaborate between Upper and Lower Skagit
  • Talk about the various Upper Skagit peoples maybe

Lower Skagit

  • Total expansion/rewrite

Swinomish people

  • Total expansion/rewrite

Snoqualmie people

  • Make map

Duwamish people

  • Probably should be a priority, but it is a scary article to rewrite. It has been like half done in my sandbox for forever
  • Total rewrite needed
  • Expand in sections that need more
  • Make an accurate map
  • Fix the mess of sources
  • Figure out what the hell is going on with the various old history articles

Suquamish

  • Rename to Suquamish people? Or not
  • Total expansion/rewrite
  • Separate ethnic group from federally-recognized tribe. Needs page creation for Suquamish Tribe

Steilacoom people

  • Total expansion/rewrite

Nisqually people

  • Total expansion/rewrite

Sahewamish

  • Total expansion/rewrite


Eventually, I would like to rewrite List of Lushootseed-speaking peoples into a proper list with more information, rather than just a tribe-by-tribe list of peoples

Tribes

edit

Nisqually Squaxin Suquamish.



Biographies:

edit

There are lots of biographies which need to be expanded or rewritten, or at least cleaned up to match modern orthographic standards. They all require a lot more research, that I have not done on the specific individuals.

Places:

edit

And of course, the infinite amount of cities, towns, mountains, lakes, rivers, etc. whose pre-contact history needs to be written on Wikipedia. Most importantly:

It would probably be a good idea to figure out which places are most visited on Wikipedia. I have no idea how to do this, though.

Pages to create/make not a redirect:

edit

Sauk people (Washington)

  • What to call this? There is already the more well-known Sauk people in the midwest. I suppose I could just keep it in one article with the Sauk-Suiattle. Also, research more on the Suiattle. As I currently understand, Suiattle is a term that was used to refer to a group who went to the Suiattle during the summer, not necessarily a full village/ethnic group. They probably don't merit their own article?

Hachuamish

  • Probably could use an article? The term refers to 6 different tribes which are not notable on their own, but together, usually referred to as the Hachuamish, they could use their own article separate from Duwamish people.
  • That being said, it needs to be found if there is a unified term for describing these people. A lot of publications use strange orthographies that attempt to mimic Lushootseed, such as calling them Xatchuabsh, hahchooAHBSH, Xachua'bsh, Xacuabš, etc. very strange indeed. At least its not as bad as the AWFUL spelling Dkhw'Duw'Absh which is trying to mimic dxʷdəwʔabš (Duwamish). At least dooAHBSH is close to what it sounds like phonetically.


Eventually, many more articles for tribes could be created, but for now, they will have to be stuck as subsections on larger articles about other peoples. For example, the many tribes that the Muckleshoot are descended from, such as the Yikoamish,


Snohomish Tribe of Indians (unrecognized group)

  • An article about the unrecognized Snohomish Tribe would be nice


Lots of reservation articles are missing. The largest, which probably necessitate their own article are:
