Original introduction
“What I love most about rivers is: You can’t step in the same river twice. The water’s always changing, always flowing” (Pocahontas). Much like the historical and fictional tribe that the legendary Pocahontas lived with, for hundreds of years the Chinook tribe, sometimes referred to as the “Cascades people,” relied heavily on the rivers and ocean for food and resources (Caldbick). However, their peaceful residence among the other neighboring tribes became disrupted when European and American settlers came into the area. As a result of the White settlers desire for the tribal peoples’ resources, the Chinooks, as well as many other tribes, lost the land they once inhabited, the resources they relied on, and resulted in the “extinction” of the tribe.

Let's start off with a bit of a brainstorming sort of session...
The Chinook people, sometimes referred to as the "Cascades People", relied heavily on the rivers and oceans that they resided by. It was here that they got much of their food, especially seafood such as salmon. Salmon was considered a major part of the Chinooks culture. In fact, during the beginning of the fishing season for salmon, there was a Salmon ceremony. The first salmon caught was taken back to the village to be cut according to tradition, cooked before the sunset of the day it was caught, shared and consumed by the tribe, and the remains would be placed back in the river ((never thrown in the river or to the dogs)). This was because the Chinooks believed salmon to be a form of people from the sea. If the salmon received respect during this ceremony, it would return ((the remains)) to its people and tell of the respect it received - thus saying they should return the following year. No respect, no salmon the next year. White settlers started arriving, building their residence along the river as well, relying on the same resources as the tribal people in the area. Soon, dams were being built, usually located in areas where the tribal people traditionally fished. The dams often flooded areas where tribal people resided - sometimes killing people. There was no "meeting in the middle" suggestions from the whites, and they didn't offer any after building the dams. The whites didn't seem to give any thought to the insult they had done with the tribes' culture and traditions. Because of this, conflict started appearing, which resulted in many deaths of tribal people - usually making numbers so small that certain tribes were thought to be "extinct."

Intro Revision #1:
"What I love most about rivers is: You can't step in the same river twice. The water's always changing, always flowing" (Pocahontas). Much like the historical and fictional tribe that the legendary Pocahontas lived with, for hundreds of years the Chinook tribe, sometimes referred to as the "Cascades people," relied heavily on the rivers and ocean for food and resources, such as salmon (Caldbick). Not only was salmon a major part of the Chinook tribe's diet, but it also was a major part of their culture. However, the Chinooks traditions revolving around salmon was disrupted when European and American settlers came into the area. As a result of the White settlers desire for the tribal peoples' resources, the Chinooks lost the land they once inhabited, including the areas they traditionally fished for salmon, and the conflict caused resulted in the "extinction" of the tribe.
