The Athapaskan Languages of Oregon

The Athapaskans in Oregon originally migrated into this area over two millennia ago from northern Canada and Siberia. They are a distinct group who probably arrived from Asia in a separate, later migration from most Native Americans. They are linguistic relatives to groups in Northern Canada and Siberia, as well as the Navajo and Apache in the Southwest. Recent research has connected them to the Yeniseian (Ket) peoples of Central Siberia. Their name for themselves - "Tunne" - is cognate with the Navajo "Dine." At some point, they split off from the southward migration of the Athapaskans, and settled into these remote pockets of land. They were found in small valleys from the Lower Columbia through the Umpqua and Rogue valleys in Southern Oregon. Their languages remained distinctive, but otherwise they shared many cultural similarities with their neighbors. How and when they found their way here is something of a mystery. Their descendants still live in Oregon today.

Oregon Athapaskan is divided into 5 main languages and about 14 dialects.
    blue pin the Lower Columbia Language consisting of:

    the Kwalhioqua dialect spoken in the Willapa Hills and the Boistfort Valley (north shore of the Lower Columbia River)

    the Clatskanie dialect on the Upper Nehalem and Clatskanie Rivers (south shore of the Lower Columbia River)


    blue pin the Umpqua Language consisting of:

    the Upper Umpqua dialect spoken in the Umpqua Valley & along the North Umpqua River (southwestern Oregon interior)


    blue pin the Coquille-Tututni Language consisting of:

    the Coquille dialect spoken in the Upper Coquille Valley (southwestern Oregon interior)

    the Kwatami dialect spoken along the Sixes River & at Floras Lake (southern Oregon coast)

    several Tututni dialects spoken along the Lower Rogue & Pistol Rivers (southern Oregon coast)

    the Chastacosta dialect spoken along the Rogue River Gorge (southwestern Oregon interior)


    blue pin the Galice-Applegate Language consisting of:

    the Taltushtuntede dialect spoken along Galice Creek (southwestern Oregon interior)

    the Dakubetede dialect spoken in the Applegate Valley (southwestern Oregon interior)

    the Gusladada dialect (?) spoken in the Upper Illinois Valley (southwestern Oregon interior)


    blue pin the Chetco-Tolowa Language consisting of:

    the Chetco dialect spoken along the Chetco & Winchuck Rivers (southern Oregon coast)

    several Tolowa dialects spoken along the Smith River & around Lake Earl (extreme northwestern California)
