Photo of blue prosser buttons, accompanied by the word "tsiltsil" and its translation.

"Tsiltsil” is the Chinuk Wawa word for “buttons.” It can also mean "stars." It is pronounced TSIL-tsil. Use the "short" i sound to say this word, as in the English word "bit." These small buttons were found by National Park Service archaeologists in the area where Fort Vancouver's employee Village once stood. They were likely worn between 1841 and 1860 by someone living in this multicultural community.
