The Satsop Tribe had a reservation long ago and in the mixing and moving around that went on with the settlers they became part of the QIN. The old burial site is near Cramers ( Schafer Park area ) and it was in the local paper while back as some were trying to preserve it.

Little edit here. Many don't know but the East Fork Satsop Chinook in the natural state were primarily Summer Chinook. We did a bunch of work with them and they will religiously make Schafer Park by October 10th. As to the bay not sure as a lot of views but it is as early as July August and September mostly I think. The upper Chehalis has Summers also but they move up river very slowly. When we broodstocked we had to wait for cooler water as the female Summers timed out if you handled them, stress thing I was told. The agency has refused to manage them separately and even used to call them Early Fall Chinook. I was told the remenate population did not fit the agency harvest driven matrix and with the courts decisions that pretty well sealed the thing as the tribes cared zip.

The Falls that dominate the run now are from the transfer over several years of the entire Humptulips Hatchery run when they went native brood.
