Kikiallus Indian Nation
The Kikiallus people () are a Lushootseed-speaking Coast Salish people Indigenous to parts of western Washington. The Kikiallus and their descendants are enrolled primarily in the federally-recognized tribe, the Swinomish Indian Tribal Community, and are today generally recognized as one of the four groups the modern Swinomish community is descended from.

Lushootseed
Lushootseed ( ), historically known as Puget Salish, Puget Sound Salish, or Skagit-Nisqually, is a Central Coast Salish language of the Salishan language family. Lushootseed is the general name for the dialect continuum composed of two main dialects, Northern Lushootseed and Southern Lushootseed, which are further separated into smaller sub-dialects. Lushootseed was historically spoken across southern and western Puget Sound roughly between modern-day Bellingham and Olympia by a number of Indigenous peoples. Lushooteed speakers were estimated to number 12,000 at the peak. Today, however, it is primarily a ceremonial language, spoken for heritage or symbolic purposes. There are about 472 known second-language speakers of Lushootseed. It is classified as Critically Endangered by the UNESCO Atlas of the World's Languages in Danger and classified as Reawakening by Ethnologue.
