Chinook Woman on the Beach

The Chinook tribe 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.
