The tight weave made the basket hat waterproof and a wonderful rain hat. The wide brim also shaded the eyes from the glare of the water.

Long houses made of split cedar logs. Houses could be 60 to 100 feet long and housed large families and slaves.

The Chinook Indians have lived (and still do) in their ancestral homelands for about 10,000 years. The ancestral homeland of the Chinook people is:
From West to East from the mouth of the Columbia River East to the present day Oregon city The Dalles. And from North to south from the present day Washington town of Grayland South to the Oregon town of Tillamook.

Salmon was the staple food for the Chinook Indians, and was also an important article of trade, the basis for an important religious ceremony, and a common motif in their art. They also made beautifully crafted canoes, and hand-woven intricate baskets.

The Chinook Indians were great wood carvers. Their projects or crafts were built of wood. The Chinook Indians are original people of the Pacific Northwest Coast.

The Chinook lived near the coast of the Pacific Ocean. They were skilled elk hunters and fishermen. Owing partly to their non-migratory living patterns, the Chinook and other coastal tribes had relatively little conflict over land with one another. They lived in long houses with more than fifty people sharing one house.

Chinook Indians did not live in pit houses. They lived in plankhouses or long houses. You can see a beautiful full size replica of a Chinook plankhouse at the Ridgefield Wildlife Refuge in Ridgefiled, Washington USA

The Chinook Indians inhabited the Pacific Northwest, primarily along the Columbia River and its estuary near the coast. Their geographic characteristics included access to abundant natural resources such as fish, particularly salmon, and fertile lands for hunting and gathering. The region's diverse ecosystems, including forests and waterways, provided materials for their canoes and shelters, enabling them to thrive as a maritime culture. The Chinook's strategic location also facilitated trade with neighboring tribes and European settlers.
