Chinook people (Amerind tribe)

Nation Active 1500 CE – present

Chinook refers to several groups of Native Americans in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States, speaking the Chinookan languages.

In the early 19th century, the Chinookan-speaking peoples lived along the lower and middle Columbia River in present-day Oregon and Washington.

The Chinook tribes were those encountered by the Lewis and Clark Expedition in 1805 on the lower Columbia.
