The Chinook Indians lived in a very rich area, perhaps among the richest in the world. Five species of Salmon returned to the river regularly along with Steelhead, and Cutthroat trout. The river was rich with Sturgeon, Sealions, Seals, Waterfowl, along with shellfish at the coast and mouth.

Elk, Deer, Bear, Beaver, Grouse, Raccoon, Muskrat and many other smaller mammals were abundant in the bordering forests and waterways.

In addition to these meat resources there were multiple species of food and medicine plants at hand, such as Cow Parsnip, Silver Weed, Stream Bank Clover, shoots from Salmon Berry and Horsetail, Camas, Wapato, Fern, Acorns/Hazelnuts, Crab Apples, and multiple species of berries.
