Chinook territory traditionally encompasses regions along the Columbia River, primarily in what is now Oregon and Washington, extending to parts of Northern California. The Chinook people were known for their advanced fishing techniques, particularly salmon fishing, and their rich cultural practices, including totem pole carving and potlatch ceremonies. Their territory was strategically important for trade due to its access to both river and ocean resources. Today, the Chinook Nation continues to advocate for recognition and preservation of their cultural heritage and ancestral lands.
