List of Lushootseed-speaking peoples

The Lushootseed-speaking peoples, sometimes known as the Lushootseed people, are a group of peoples Indigenous to the Pacific Northwest who are linguistically related along the Lushootseed dialect continuum.

Lushootseed-speaking groups were traditionally politically autonomous at the local, or village, level, so there was no historical term to refer to all Lushootseed-speaking peoples. Words like (dxʷ)ləšucid ʔacʔaciɬtalbixʷ or ʔacʔaciɬtalbixʷ kʷi gʷədxʷləšucideb (lit. "Lushootseed peoples" or "Peoples who speak Lushootseed") are sometimes used in modern times.

All historically attested extended village groups or bands are listed, grouped by modern-day tribal units, sub-units, and further sub-units:
