Pass Name
History:
|
Named
for the Tsinuk Indian
tribes that occupied the lower
banks of the
Columbia River. Their strategic position established
them as
traders with inland and
coastal tribes prior to the arrival
of the white
man, and thus their
language, augmented by French
and English, became
the Chinook
jargon used by early traders and
pioneers. As a result
the word chinook is frequently used in the Pacific
Northwest as a
term for innumerable
geographic points, for a warm
snow-melting wind,
for extra large
King salmon, etc. |
