Best Answer

No, the Chinook are Pacific Northwestern people; however, the term Chinook refers to those Pacific Northwestern people who can claim a Pacific Northwestern heritage of more than 150 years. Most Pacific Northwestern people are of European heritage. Not everyone who lives in the Pacific Northwest is Chinook, and not all Chinook live in the Pacific Northwest.
