Join us on a journey through Lushootseed Language Camp! This video takes you inside the 2025 Language Camp where learning goes hand-in-hand with tradition, stories, and community. From songs and games to hands-on cultural activities, children connect with their heritage while building a love for their ancestral language.
“Owl & Chipmunk” is the traditional story the wiw̓su (children) will perform. We will go live @ 11am and the play will start shortly thereafter.

Language Camp is a week-long event designed for Tribal member youth ages 5-12. Throughout the camp, participants will explore language and culture through engaging activities centered around this year’s traditional story, “Owl and Chipmunk.”
Held at the Kenny Moses Building from 10 AM to 3 PM, the camp features eight interactive stations that youth will visit each day. Campers will be divided into five rotating groups, ensuring they experience a variety of learning opportunities. Lunch and an afternoon snack will be provided, though families are responsible for transportation.
With materials prepared for up to 50 youth, this immersive experience fosters cultural connection and storytelling in a meaningful way.
