Dakubetede Indian Language (Applegate Creek)
The Dakubetede Indians are a small tribe of Oregon, relatives of the
Tututni Indians
and speakers of a related Athabaskan language.
Like many other West Coast Indian tribes, the Dakubetede people were relocated to the
Grande Ronde and
Siletz Reservations in
Oregon during the 1800's, where they were merged with other native peoples and their languages rapidly vanished.
The Dakubetede language is no longer spoken today, but the Athabaskan people of Siletz have been working together to revive
a mixed heritage language based on Tututni and Tolowa.
