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

Examining cultural heritage within the context of democracyCultural
heritage is a powerful tool in society, capable of producing both
social harms as well as social goods and benefits, which can be
distributed unevenly via political channels. Reaching across
disciplines and national boundaries, this volume examines cultural
heritage work within the context of both democratic institutions
and democratic practices, including participatory, deliberative,
and direct democratic practices. Case studies highlight how
democratic politics and cultural heritage shape, impact, and depend
upon one another. The rising crisis of democracy across the globe
brings these dynamics into sharp relief. The unfinished and fragile
nature of democratic politics shines a spotlight on both its
shortcomings and its aspirational potential. This is a paradox that
heritage practitioners and stakeholders navigate daily, serving as
both critics and collaborators of democracy. At the same time that
heritage practice embraces participatory approaches, it must also
address the challenge of reconciling multiple, often unequal, and
frequently incompatible claims for control over heritage. Grappling
with democracy's crises also increasingly means recognizing the
power of heritage to reinforce or undermine democracy. These essays
ask: What are the democratic motives of heritage practice? Why do
democracies need heritage? How do the social and cultural referents
of heritage infuse democratic practices? Emphasizing the interplay
of heritage and democracy in practices and institutions across
scales of governance, Heritage and Democracy pinpoints a dynamic
that has not been widely examined. A volume in the series Cultural
Heritage Studies, edited by Paul A. Shackel
