Yes and No....
The Chinooks were recognized until the 1950s. The relationship between the Chinooks and the US government was terminated in the the Oregon Termination Act. The Chinook got recognized again the late 1990s but it was stripped when George W. Bush took office in 2000. They are still working to regain their rightful status today.
