    I am a Chinook. Our tribe deserves to have federal recognition.

    I was raised in this area and many of my good friends are members of the Chinook Nation. As Laura B. says they deserve the recognition. Please help this cause.

    I am a Chinook Indian. I'm 72 yrs. old and have attended Chinook tribal gatherings up & down the Columbia River & Willapa Bay all my life. I attended South Bend schools who call themselves So. Bend Indians in honer of the Willapa Bay Chinooks. We Chinooks are still here by the hundreds. In 2oo5 the Chinook Nation hosted the Lewis & Clark expedition at Chinook not far from Station Camp. We fed several hundred people a Salmon feast that weekend. We Chinooks are still here and wanting to be acknowledged we arn't extinct!!!

    Some of the most sophisticated peoples in trade and commerce for over 1000 years. When Lewis and Clark met up with the Chinook they noted the several languges the Chinook could speak and the Spanish clothing many wore. (Columbia River) This was a huge nation and to not give them recognition and restoration, is a discrace to this country. As my Great Grandmother would say "I am but one tanis coochman"

    They were here first, and one of the most important tribes in America - some of the very best boat builders and trading with China for nearly 1000 years!

    The idea that some of the tribes in the area have their recognition but not the Chinook tribe does not shows a bias among the legislation and should be over turnes and the Chinook nation should once again be whole.

    Our government has done enough damage to the native people of the land we now inhabit. It is time we take steps to correct the mistakes of the past.
