We host the annual Celebrating Salish Conference, which brings together speakers and learners of all Interior Salish languages in the Inland Northwest: Kalispel, Spokane, Colville-Okanagan, Coeur d’Alene, Wenatchee-Columbian, and Montana Salish.

Our goals for this conference are to promote new speakers of our native language, collaborate with our neighboring tribal communities, and build ongoing relationships with one another. The Celebrating Salish Conference is the largest language gathering of native speakers in the entire northwest.

Every Spring, we come together to share all the good things that are happening in our communities and to get re-energized about our language efforts. Every year we continue to grow. Our first gathering had about 100 participants and now we are up to 700+ attendees from all over the NW. We are very grateful for all of our visitors and friends that come to help us make this an awesome gathering.
