Rainy city, I don't know of any renegade Chinook but I do know that the Quinault buisness commitee has called the Chinooks an extict tribe. The Chinook tribe that recieved federal recognition is the group of Lower Chinook that live in Pacific,and Grays Harbor county. And several in the Vancouver and Portland areas.
With the Dawes act which created the alotments on the Indian reservations the Chinook lost thier tribal name.
When You got your 80 acre alotment on the Quinalt reservation the government recognized the Chinook as a Quinault Indian
which complicates things.
The Chinook Tribe itself has no tribal rights on the Quinault reservation, nor do we want them.
As for Mr Head Hunter when I say educate I mean to talk to his tribal council and he will find out that the Chinook would not try to net the Cowlitz tribes river.
The Cowlitz and Chinook have a very good working relationship, we also have had the same law firm in Washington D.C. for the past 25 years.
Headhunter I am sorry that you have never heard of the Chinook Tribe. I guess it is not your fault that you dont.
Thank You.
