Chinook Indians

It depends how far you have to put the wire into the wall. Turn off the electricity! Then use a wire coat hanger that is bend straight and tie the wiring onto that (for short distances.) If it's a longer way to go then use a thin taut cord to work the wiring through the wall. It also depends on what direction you're fishing and what you're aiming for. Electricians use "fish tape" made of spring steel and wound on a spool. It can be pushed for long distances inside walls or ceilings (or even conduits) and around corners. Spools come in 50 ft or 100 ft or longer. The larger the hole the faster it is to find the fishing tool at the other end. Another tool is a flexible rod that screws together in several sections. Mine is 3 m long and has an interchangeable hook or needle on the end, depending on if you're pushing or pulling something. You thread a string in the needle and push it through the first hole and out the second, then undo the string and use that to pull the cable through. The most important tool for fishing wire is often the "helper" who can stand at the other hole and tell you if you're close, or even help grab the fishing tool as it comes by. A large dose of patience is also useful. Alternatively, if you're going to be putting several wires through the same area, you might consider installing a conduit with a pull box at each end. That way, next time you add a wire the conduit is already there.

No, Chinook Indians did not ride horses they traveled by canoe everywhere they went. The land was covered with giant old growth trees which made travel by land virtually impossible.

The Chinook did not farm. They traded with the Great Plain Indians for crops such as corn.

Well, first of all, they're not called plank houses. They era called pit houses. They used them because

there were warm and cold climate

the winter was cold

the summer was warm and fall pretty cold

The Chinook were first noticed generally by Lewis and Clark in 1805, and afterwards were greatly diminished in numbers by diseases brought by white trades. The Lewis and Clark Expedition (1804-1806) was the first overland expedition undertaken by the United States to the Pacific coast and back. The expedition team was headed by Meriwether Lewis and William Clark and assisted by Sacajawea and Toussaint Charbonneau. The expedition's goal was to gain an accurate sense of the resources being exchanged in the Louisiana Purchase. The expedition laid much of the groundwork for the Westward Expansion of the United States.

Comcomly was a Lower Chinook chief at the time Lewis and Clark visited the Pacific Ocean. He was a great leader and trader.

You're likely thinking of the Creek Indian Tribe who are associated with Alabama and Georgia but also hold a place in Florida history as well.

the chinook tribe did hunt for gray whales, fin whales, sperm whales, blue whales, and humpbacks, and they use the blubber for candles, and the meat for eating, even though there are 80 species of whales. they even use the whale's oil for electricity I think in 1932.

The Chinook Indians made hollowed out canoes from cedar logs and also built their rectangular houses. To this day they still make buildings out of cedar but these buildings are mostly for ceremonies now.

A Chinook wind is when a wind blows along the eastern slope of the Rocky Mountains in Canada. The winds brink in warmer air raising the temperature in the winder

No, Walrus is not found as far South as present day Washington/Oregon State.

Very much like that of other native american tribes: a belief in guiding and protecting spirits, among others of their forefathers, and in animal deities. They had Shamans as priests who made regular offerings to these spirits and deities.

Plank houses were everyday houses.

Living as a Native American in the Pacific Northwest involves a deep connection to the land, culture, and community. Many Indigenous peoples maintain traditions that celebrate their heritage, including language, art, and ceremonies tied to the natural environment. Challenges such as the impact of historical injustices and modern socio-economic issues persist, but there is also a strong movement for cultural revitalization and advocacy for Indigenous rights. Overall, life in this region is a blend of honoring ancestral practices while navigating contemporary realities.

A Chinook salmon ceremony is a cultural event primarily observed by Indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest, particularly the Coast Salish tribes. It celebrates the return of Chinook salmon to their spawning grounds, symbolizing renewal and abundance. The ceremony often includes rituals, songs, dances, and feasting, emphasizing the spiritual and communal importance of the salmon to their livelihoods and traditional practices. It serves to honor the fish, express gratitude, and reinforce cultural identity and connection to the land and water.

They didn't need to. They had abundant resources available to them through fishing, hunting and gathering.
