The term &#x22;Chinookans of the Lower Columbia River&#x22; is a reference to the group of Chinookan language speakers living on the northwest coast of the United States in the states of Washington and Oregon and on both banks of the Lower Columbia River from its mouth to just beyond the Willamette River. The group consists of the Chinook proper, the Clackamas, Clatsop, Shoalwater Chinook,  Wahkiakum, and Cathlamet (Kathlamet).  Chinookan is a branch of the Penutian phylum of languages, and is divided into Upper and Lower Chinookan (Upper Chinookan is treated as a different group of cultures). The villages consisted of both permanent winter villages and  temporary summer camps. Each village had its own chief whose status and prestige varied within the area. Hunting, fishing, and gathering were the primary subsistence activities of the Chinookans.
