Puget Sound Lowlands

Salish Sea Basin Ecoregion

During Joktan Journey On, two of the sons of Joktan settled primarily in the lands which later became the two divisions of the Salish people of today.

These two sons are:

(1) Hadoram, Joktan′s fifth born son, settled in the lands of the coastal Salish Basin Ecoregion.

(2) Jerah, Joktan′s forth born son, settled in the lands of the interior Salish

The Salish, which are a linguistic grouping of North American Indian tribes speaking related languages and living in the upper basins of the Columbia and Fraser rivers and their tributaries in what are now the province of British Columbia, as well as what are now the three states of Washington, Idaho, and Montana. These Salish speaking tribes are divided into two regions.

The Coast Salish tribes reside in and around the Salish Basin Ecoregion of the Northwest Pacific Coast region. The name Coast Salish is the name used to distinguish them from their nearest relatives, the Interior Salish who live in the interior areas of British Columbia, Washington, Idaho and Montana.

The Salish tribes comprised mainly the Coeur d'Alene, Columbia, Cowlitz, Flathead, Kalispel, Lake, Lillooet, Nespelem, Okanagon, Sanpoil, Shuswap, Sinkaietk (southern Okanagon), Spokan, Thompson, and Wenatchee peoples, all of whom speak various Salishian languages.

At one time the name Salish was a tribal name for the Flathead of the interior Salish, but later, the name Salish began to be applies to both the interior people as well as their coastal relatives.
