Native American Tribes series.Chinook
A tribe of the Chinookan linguistic stock, the Chinook lived in villages on the embankments of the Columbia River, from British Columbia, Canada to Eastern Washington State, all the way to the Pacific Ocean. The Chinook were not nomadic, but rather, lived on a diet of hunting and fishing and were proficient whale hunters. At birth, Chinookans would flatten some children's heads by applying pressure with a board, enabling, in turn, a social hierarchy that placed flat-headed community members above those with round heads. They were not war-like and had little conflict with other Indian tribes, instead, depending heavily on trade with them. The Chinookan tribe was officially by the U.S. Government recognized in 2001, but it was revoked the following year. Tribe members today continue to work at securing recognition of tribal status by the U.S. Federal government.
09/16/2018 By jacobboulder Quick find with my dad. Caching out east today trying to get to a big milestone. Working on the Something Fun series and other caches. SL TFTC!
Its been a long hot summer in Texas, I've been trying to get out and do a caching trip a couple of times this summer, but it never worked out. Finally managed to get a week off, and am so happy to be out here in Colorado. The weather if perfect, and there is a load of caches that need my name on Thanks so much for the hide mondou2, I really enjoyed finiding this cache!
