For indigenous peoples day i wanted to bring attention to the chinook tribe.
I live on unconceded chinook territory however they are not federally recognized. Meaning they have no protections
They were legally recognized in 2001 however this was reversed 18 months later

Restore federal recognition for the Chinook Indian Nation. Congress has the authority to recognize tribes — and can restore the Chinook’s rightful recognition that was granted 20 years ago.
