Laterals and sibilants:
In Takelma, Sahaptian, Wakashan and Chemakuan languages, all spoken near Salish,
laterals and sibilants can vary
(1) depending on the person spoken to (Nootka crosseyed people, Quileute small men, etc.)
(2) depending on the speaker in myths (e.g. Coyote sibilant, Grizzly Bear lateral, etc.)

On the other hand, dentals are also frequently involved.

See Mithun's Languages of native North America p. 273-276 for examples and sources.
