History

The Chinook Nation’s Culture Committee has put a significant amount of work into the Center for Columbia River History’s website highlighting the Chinook community’s history. It is a one of a kind resource and will be available for pubic viewing in mid-September of 2012.

Another excellent source of history for our membership and the general public is the Portland State University Chinookan Studies volume, Chinookan Peoples of the Lower Columbia River, that has been in the works for approximately 10 years. It is nearing completion and will be published sometime in late 2012 or early 2013.
