It’s time to restore the Chinook Indian Nation

In 2001, the Chinook Nation obtained federal recognition from the U.S. government. However, celebration turned into heartbreak when recognition was rescinded eighteen months later. 

The Chinook Indian Nation was essentially declared nonexistent in the eyes of the government.

Our nation has been unable to access programs and resources to which federally recognized tribes are entitled. Over the last 20 years, the lack of official recognition has cost economic and educational opportunities and countless lives.

Congress has both the power and authority to recognize tribes.

We are calling on our elected officials to do what’s right and end this humanitarian crisis. 

Federally recognize the Chinook Indian Nation.
