The Lushootseed pronunciation is actually something closer to Poo-ALL-up.

Even in r/washington it's kinda wild to see someone familiar with Lushootseed

I don't know much Lushootseed, but I happen to work as a linguist and someone I know used to teach it at the UofO!

I'm only passingly familiar myself from a project with the Tulalip Tribe admin many years ago. Good to hear of folks working to keep the language alive!
