Brief Description:
"Tututni was a language of the Oregon Athabaskan subgroup formerly spoken along the southwest Oregon coast from the Coquille River to a few miles north of the California border. There were several distinct local varieties, the best attested of which are Coquille, Euchre Creek, and Chasta Costa. After the Rogue River War of 1855-6 the Tututnis were forcibly resettled in northern Oregon on the Grand Ronde and Siletz Reservations, where Tututni continued to be spoken for several generations. The last fluent speaker died in 1983." Victor Golla, Atlas of the World's Languages 2007 pg. 24
