The Chelan (pronounced sha-lan) are an Interior Salish people speaking the Wenatchi dialect, though separate from that tribe. The name derives from the traditional Wenatchi name Tsi-Laan meaning "deep water".

The Chelan were historically located at the outlet of Lake Chelan in the U.S. state of Washington, where they spent the winter months.[1] The Chelan Native Americans are thought to have splintered off from the Wenatchi tribe.
