The Chinook Indians have always resided in the lower Columbia River region and always will. The Chinook Tribe is alive and well.
The word Chinook refers to the people of the lower mouth of the Columbia River in Washington and Oregon and the related languages. From that came the name of the trade language, the Chinook Jargon and the warming wind that melts snow. It comes from the name of a Lower Chehalis (Salishan) tribe village called /činúk/. Lewis and Clark first used it. The meaning is not known
