The Indian tribe that inhabited the Pacific Northwest in the coastal range area is the Chinook tribe. The Chinook people traditionally lived along the Columbia River and the coast of present-day Oregon and Washington states. They were known for their fishing and trading skills, as well as their complex social structure and artistry.
the Chinook tribe lived in longhouses made out of wood.
The Sosa structure among the Chinook people refers to a matrilineal kinship system that emphasizes lineage and social organization through maternal lines. In this structure, individuals inherit rights, responsibilities, and status from their mothers, which influences social roles and community standing. This matrilineal focus is integral to the Chinook's cultural identity and social interactions, shaping family ties and inheritance practices.
