| 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:

{{userboxtop

| align = right|About me!

| backgroundcolor = #97c499

| bordercolor = #59785a

}}

= To-do: =

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

= Pages to re-write and expand on: =

== Minor Corrections ==

Haleets

== Peoples ==

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 ==

Nisqually Squaxin Suquamish.

== Biographies: ==

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: ==

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:

Seattle
Olympia, Washington
Tacoma, Washington
Everett, Washington (already pretty expanded upon)

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: =

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)
