| Abstract | This group of Chinookan language speakers reside 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, and include the Chinook proper, the Clackamas, Clatsop, Shoalwater Chinook, Wahkiakum, and Cathlamet (Kathlamet). The major time focus of this collection of 10 English language documents is from the late eighteenth century through the nineteenth. The most comprehensive traditional ethnographies of the Lower Chinookans can be found in Ray's Lower Chinook ethnographic notes and Silverstein's Chinookans of the Lower Columbia. Other major topics discussed in other documents include songs, beliefs about sickness and death, and humor and verbal irony. |
