Mr. Lewis,

My daughter and I are involved in the Indian Princesses program of our local
YMCA. We belong to the Chinook tribe, and I am searching for a brief history
or background about these Native Americans.

I have done a little research on my own on the WEB and have not been able to
find what I am looking for. I came upon your web page, and noticing that you
are from the Chinook nation, I was hoping you would be able to help.

This history will eventually be posted on our website, so can I give you the
address if you are  interested.

I appreciate your time.
