List of Lushootseed-speaking peoples

The Lushootseed-speaking peoples, sometimes known as the Lushootseed people, are a group of Indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest who speak the Lushootseed language.
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 or 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:
