  Coos Language and the Coos Indian Tribe (Coosan, Kusan, Hanis, Miluk, Lower Coquille)
The two Coos dialects, Hanis and Miluk, were once spoken on the coast of Oregon.
Unfortunately the last native Coosan speaker died in 1972, but the language appears to have been related to Siuslaw and Alsea, and some linguists consider all these languages part of a broader Penutian language family.
Miluk Coosan is sometimes referred to as "Lower Coquille" by anthropologists, because the traditional homeland of the Miluk includes the lower part of the Coquille River.

 Don Macnaughtan - OLA Quarterly Article
Wildlife was abundant, and the Miluk and Dene lived well on salmon, deer, elk, camas, shellfish, and sea mammals.
On one such junk, a boatload of Miluk apparently joined the trip back to Asia, and a nineteenth century Miluk-speaking sailor on a visit to Japan was startled to hear his language spoken by a very old man, the last survivor of the emigrants.
