The group of Native Americans in question is the Lummi tribe, also known as the Lhaq'temish, which means "people of the sea." They traditionally lived in the Puget Sound region of what is now Washington state before the arrival of European and American settlers. Today, the Lummi tribe is located near Bellingham, Washington. The traditional language of the Lummi tribe is North Straits Salish, and while it is still spoken among some members of the tribe, it is considered endangered. The Lummi tribe has beliefs centered around the importance of the land and sea, as well as rituals such as potlatches and honoring their ancestors. They have left a significant impact on Washington history through their resistance to colonization and continued stewardship of their lands and resources. CAN U MAKE THIS SOUND LIKE A 7TH GRADER
