What's this all about? See the Oregon Encyclopedia for a description by Henry Zenk, Ph.D. 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 for reference by distant scholars. Links to other Jargon resources are also provided here. The map section delineates the region, past and present.
