Native American Tribes series.
Chimakuan
A linguistic family consisting of two tribes and languages spoken on the Olympic Peninsula in northwestern Washington. Of the two languages, Chemakum and Quileute, the first is extinct and the latter is endangered. The situation of these two tribes, as well as certain traditions, indicate that in former times the family may have been more powerful and occupied the entire region to the south of the strait of Juan de Fuca from which they were driven out by the Clallani and Makah. This, however, is uncertain. They had a high reputation among their Indian neighbors for warlike qualities, but, for the greater part, were on friendly terms with the white settlers.
