Yes, Chinook refers to several groups of Native Americans in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. In the early 19th century, the Chinook peoples lived along the lower and middle Columbia River in present-day Oregon and Washington. The Chinook tribes were those encountered by the Lewis and Clark Expedition in 1805 on the lower Columbia River.
