Atfalati

/ˌætfəˈlɑːti/ noun

Definition

The Atfalati people, a Native American tribe of the Pacific Northwest, historically inhabiting areas in what is now Oregon.

Etymology

From the Atfalati language and tribal name. The term represents the indigenous peoples' own name for themselves, preserved in historical and anthropological records.

Kelly Says

The Atfalati had their own language, culture, and territory, but like many indigenous groups, they were displaced during American westward expansion—and their story is less known than many others.
