Presented on this site are four Chinook Jargon dictionaries from the past which are not available elsewhere on-line in convenient form, for the benefit of students or reference by distant scholars. Links to other Jargon-related resources are provided here. A selection of links is also provided for students or teachers who arrived at this site seeking information on Native Americans of the Pacific Northwest. The map section delineates the region, past and present.
