Methow people

The Methow are a Native American tribe that lived along the Methow River, a tributary of the Columbia River in northern Washington. They are an Interior Salish people and an Indigenous people of the Plateau. Today, Methow people are enrolled in the Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation, a federally recognized tribe.

Name
The river's English name is taken from that of the tribe. The name "Methow" comes from the Okanagan placename /mətxʷú/, meaning "sunflower (seeds)". The tribe's name for the river was Buttlemuleemauch, meaning "salmon falls river". == Language ==
Language
Their endangered language, known as Colville-Okanagan, spoken only by older adults, is a part of the Southern Interior Salish linguistic branch. The Methow now speak English. ==Notes==
