The Chinook Indian Nation—whose ancestors lived along both shores
of the lower Columbia River, as well as north and south along the
Pacific coast at the river’s mouth—continue to reside near
traditional lands. Because of its nonrecognized status, the Chinook
Indian Nation often faces challenges in its efforts to claim and
control cultural heritage and its own history and to assert a right
to place on the Columbia River. Chinook Resilience is a
collaborative ethnography of how the Chinook Indian Nation, whose
land and heritage are under assault, continues to move forward and
remain culturally strong and resilient. Jon Daehnke focuses on
Chinook participation in archaeological projects and sites of
public history as well as the tribe’s role in the revitalization
of canoe culture in the Pacific Northwest. This lived and embodied
enactment of heritage, one steeped in reciprocity and protocol
rather than documentation and preservation of material objects,
offers a tribally relevant, forward-looking, and decolonized
approach for the cultural resilience and survival of the Chinook
Indian Nation, even in the face of federal nonrecognition. A Capell
