🎉 Huge congrats to Chinook member Quinne Larsen! Their animated short film, 'Field Recording,' is officially premiering at the 2025 Sundance Festival in the Short Film category! We are thrilled for Quinne and so proud that they used Chinuk Wawa in the short film. Wahoo! 🎉

More bluesky followers means more visibility for us Chinooks as we fight to restore our federal recognition. We need allies to help us show the federal gov how important recognition is. Retweeting & following means you stand with a tribe fighting to stop cultural genocide.

Our name, our culture, and our community are integral to the Pacific Northwest. It’s past time that the federal government acknowledges our contributions by granting us federal recognition. #ChinookJustice #wearestillhere

Chinook salmon is the largest species of salmon in the Pacific Northwest, and it bears our name. 

As the original people at the mouth of the Columbia River, fishing is a huge part of Chinook culture. We still hold annual salmon ceremonies and distribute fish to our community regularly.

Chinook Nation & Columbia Land Trust rescued a Double Crested Cormorant on a Wilapa River visit. Hugh Ahnatook's bare-handed skills saved the day! "Took" is now recovering at Peninsula Wild Care. 🐦❤️

Federal recognition will not only help our tribe in a myriad of ways. It will help revitalize native plants, multiply efforts to save salmon streams, bring economic opportunities to everyone in our region, and more. #ChinookJustice #StrongerTogether #EverybodyWins

Last weekend, the Chinook Indian Nation and Columbia Land Trust signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU), launching an unprecedented partnership that establishes a co-stewardship model within ancestral Chinook lands.
