Lushootseed is now taught at Marysville Pilchuck. It joins two other schools in the district.
MARYSVILLE — When twin sisters Alissa and Kelsey Edge found out that Lushootseed language classes were being taught at Marysville Pilchuck High School this year, they had to sign up.
The high school seniors saw it as a way to learn more about their heritage. They’re members of the Upper Skagit Indian Tribe.
“We wanted to become closer to our culture and make sure the language doesn’t die,” 18-year-old Alissa said.
Lushootseed is a traditional language spoken by Coast Salish tribes along the shores of the Puget Sound. The Marysville School District and the Tulalip Lushootseed Language Department partnered this year to bring the classes to the high school.
