Chinook Jargon in the news: 1889 Washington’s Magazine
“A Fight for Federal Recognition” by Daniel O’Neil is in the April/May 2025 issue of 1889 Washington’s Magazine.
Great in-depth reporting and ample, thoughtfully chosen photos make this a fine read.
I like how the magazine features the phrase “Chinook State” and quotes Chinook Nation vice-chairman Sam Robinson reminding folks that Washington was originally called that.
(As I reported here a week before the Covid lockdown.)
Go and read it!
