AnswerThe Chinook Indians consist of the Lower Chinook, Clatsop, Willapa, Wahkiakum and Kathlamet people. The traditional Chinook lands are from the mouth of the Columbia River North to Tokeland, South to Tillamook Head and East to The Dalles.They were a peaceful people, whose lives revolved around fishing, (mostly salmon), and trading in goods such as fish and furs.
The Chinook enjoyed entertainment and leisure; their villages were comprised mostly of their own relatives. They were a peace-loving people, who would not easily give in to violent behavior, opting instead for challenging ritual events to resolve any conflicts.
The Chinook language is still alive today. an off-shoot of the Chinook language is "Chinook Jargon", which was used by traders from the Yukon to California.
Today, the many Chinook tribal members still live in their traditional lands. The Chinook Tribe was never given a reservation and in 2012 is not recognized by the US Federal Government. In the 1930s when the "Quinault" Reservation was being allotted 52% of that reservation was allotted to Chinook people. 80 acre parcels were given to adults to use as farms.
