Naltunnetunne Indian Tribe
The Naltunnetunne Indians were a small Athabaskan tribe of
Oregon, relatives of the Tututni.
The Naltunnetunne language is no longer spoken, but is believed to have been a Tututni dialect.
Like many other West Coast Indian tribes, the Naltunnetunne Indians were relocated to the Siletz Reservation in
Oregon during the 1800's, where they were merged with other native peoples and their languages rapidly vanished.
Today the Tututni language is only spoken by a few elders, but some young Siletz people are working to learn their ancestral
languages again.
