Caption: Marker detail: 1850s engraving of Chinook Indians
Additional Description: This 1850s engraving of Chinook Indians seining for salmon hints at the bountiful living gathered from the river by native peoples. But vast numbers of people were wiped out by diseases introduced by fur traders and settlers, leaving native cultures a lesser power along the lower river.
