The Tolowa (Taa-Laa-Wa) language (also called Smith River) is a member of the Pacific Coast subgroup of the Athabaskan language family. It is spoken by Tolowa Indians in southern Oregon and northern California. There are only a handful of remaining fully fluent native speakers, like Siletz Tribal Council Vice-Chairman, Bud Lane, for example. The Confederated Tribes of Siletz are attempting to revive it, offering courses for 6th- through 8th-graders at the Siletz Valley Charter School, opening in the fall of 2006. Loren Bommelyn is a fluent speaker and linguist, who has published books teaching the language and teaches young Tolowa students in Crescent City, California.<i>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/index.html?curid=4033483 ..... full article at Wikipedia]</i></td></tr> | The Tolowa (Taa-Laa-Wa) language (also called Smith River) is a member of the Pacific Coast subgroup of the Athabaskan language family.
