Lifestyle
The Chinook lived on the west coast, in the parts of what is now Oregon and Washington state. If you've been there, you'll know that it's a rather cold climate, and it rains constantly. However, the Chinook managed to survive. They built and lived in long wooden houses, commonly called
'longhouses'.
