“Tillicum Wawa” is a Chinook Jargon phrase which, loosely translated, means “The people speak”.

 Chinook Jargon was a trade language used by Natives in this region before Europeans arrived here. It was a combination of Salish, Nootka, and Chinook languages.  After explorers, traders, and other non-natives arrived in this area, French and English words were integrated into the jargon.  It was widely used to communicate between people of different tribes, nationalities, and races.

That is why we chose the name.  Tillicum Wawa is here to help represent the under-represented voice of the Native peoples of this nation. To be a “voice for the voiceless”.

It has been estimated that a language disappears every 14 days. When that happens, the key to cultural, historic, and spiritual values can die. As Yakama tribal elder Virginia Beavert, who helped preserve and protect the Sahaptin language said, "One day the government will come back and ask you two things 'Do you speak your language?' and 'Do you practice your religion?'. If we cannot answer "yes" to those two questions, our sovereignty is at stake."

The hosts of Tillicum Wawa are happy to be interviewing Bryan Hudson, Jr., who is working through the University of Utah to help preserve the Shoshone language on August 16. Tune in or stream to hear more about the importance of language preservation to First Nations peoples.

Thu, 08/25/2011
Have you ever heard of Yupik/Inuit hip-hop? Well, neither had almost anyone else as Phillip John Aarnaquq Charette and Alex Ellison have created "Tengaurtukut" (meaning "we are flying," or "we can fly" in Yupik), the first such music, and we at "Tillicum Wawa: Voices of the People," were proud to be the first to play this music. The music on "Tengaurtukut" is very soulful and seems to reach into your soul and bring out the music in your body and spirit. The CD will be out on September 16 and can be found at www.mrelive.com or www.phillipcharette.com. Alex brought KBOO an advance copy and we now have it in our library. Thank you Phillip and Alex!
