Did the Chinook have a leader?
Each Chinook village had a headman, or chief. He (or she) was made leader because everyone in the village respected him. A famous chief was Chief Concomly (1754 - 1830). He lived on the Columbia River at the present day Fort Columbia, across from Astoria, Oregon. He is the most famous chief because of his location near the mouth of the Columbia River and he met most, if not all, of the traders from around the world and was the first Chinook headman they met.
What was the government of the Chinook tribe?
In the past, each Chinook village was led by its own local chief or headman, who was always a high-ranking clan leader.

The Chinook Nation has its own government, laws, police, and services, just like a small country. However, the Chinooks are also US citizens and must obey American law.
