Tribes

Okanogan and Chelan Counties, Washington are places where native inhabitants still live amongst the conquering European tribes. The Okanogan tribal language N’tsilikcin has over a thousand speakers, while the Wenatchi tribes have only a few dozen who can still speak the "language of the Local People", Nx’amxcin.
