How Do you say Salmon?

[John E. Sirois]

Scott,

Close, but not quite right: 

Nimipu is the language spoken by the Nez Perce and Palus People

Nsxlcin is the salish language spoken by the Okanagan, Methow, Nespelem, San
Poil, Lakes, and Swelxu People

We also have the Nax'amcin language spoken by the Wenatchi, Chelan, Entiat,
and Moses Columbia People
