Coast Salish people practiced various traditional care methods for their babies, often using cradleboards to secure and carry them. These cradleboards allowed infants to be close to their caregivers while keeping them safe and comfortable. The community placed a strong emphasis on nurturing and bonding, with extended family members often involved in childcare, ensuring a supportive environment for the child’s growth and development. Additionally, cultural practices and songs were frequently shared during this time to instill a sense of identity and connection to their heritage.
Coast Salish hunt every day or two to keep food in front of them. They fish, eat, and do things everyone needs to do to stay alive.

The Coast Salish people primarily spoke a variety of Salishan languages, which are part of the larger Salishan language family. Some of the most notable languages include Lushootseed, spoken by tribes in the Puget Sound region, and Halkomelem, used by groups in the Fraser River area of British Columbia. Each tribe had its own distinct dialect, reflecting their unique cultural and geographical contexts. These languages are integral to the Coast Salish identity and heritage.
The Salish peoples, indigenous to the Pacific Northwest Coast, first encountered Europeans in the late 18th century, primarily through explorers such as Captain James Cook and later fur traders. These early interactions often involved trade, but they also brought significant challenges, including the spread of diseases to which the Salish had no immunity. Additionally, these contacts marked the beginning of profound social, economic, and cultural changes for the Salish communities.
