The Chinooks were Indians from long ago. There tribe was where Oregon and Washington State are now.

There clothing was made from bison hides, rabbit fur, and bird feathers. The woman sometimes wore grass skirts. The men always wore capes. In the winter the Chinooks wore fur robes and moccasins. They wore capes in the rain. Sometimes the Chinooks wore basket hats. They usually wore there hair down but sometimes they wore braids.

Chinooks houses were called long houses. They were called longhouses, because they are long. Longhouses were also called plank houses. They were made of logs, brush, weeds, sticks, and leaves. They had totem poles outside of there houses. Normally a whole family consisting of aunts, uncles, grandmas, grandpas, cousins, moms, dads, and children lived in those houses. The houses were near the Columbia River. The Chinook were fisherman and traders. They traded clothing and furs with other tribes near there's. One of the tribes near the Chinooks were the Nez Perce. The Nez Perce pierced there noses. They were very peaceful. It was very hard for the Chinooks to give into physical violence. The Chinook influenced the Americans in many ways. There is a fish named after the Chinook, and there's a helicopter named after the Chinook. The Chinook were a peaceful tribe.
