ALL people have a basic need and right to be 'recognized'. The Chinook people are no exception. Please do the right thing. -

Resore the Chinook Natives to their complete status of Federal Recognized Natives of this Area. It is a shame we need to practically beg for these Native's to regain status, when it's obvious they helped the well known non-Indians here. You can believe our HIstory, when we say it.REPORT COMMENTS

Chinook is a household term all around the Pacific Northwest. This alone should be sound reason for recognition. The Chinook Indian Nation influence is apparent to anyone passing through the area.REPORT COMMENTS

The political farce of "recognition/non-recognition" has gone on for so long due to bureaucrats and changing political winds. Just fix it! It's the undisputed right thing to do. Let's move on and spend our energy on bigger problems. Why is Congress dragging their non-functional feet?REPORT COMMENTS

The US government has treated native Americans badly since its beginning. Now that we are supposedly more "civilized", we should act accordingly.REPORT COMMENTS

It is ridiculous that the Chinook Nation does not have Federal Recognition Status. Their presence and trade network was established long before Lewis and Clark spent a winter with them. They meet all of the qualifications, and their recognition should be restored immediately.REPORT COMMENTS

they were instrumental in expanding our nation by helping Lewis and Clark one long winter in OR and our country does not recognize them as existing. What a crime.REPORT COMMENTS
