What's wrong with this picture? In the 1978 painting by John F. Clymer called "Visitors at Fort Clatsop," Chinook Indians are portrayed as the visitors, cowering at the Corps of Discovery's gate in the winter of 1805-06.
The Chinooks' help was critical to the explorers' survival, and now the tribe is seeking federal recognition to help its own culture survive. |
