Best to cc. this reply to the CHINOOK listserve community, where there
are some bona fide Chinooks who I am sure would be glad to help.  From
what I know the Chinook people, like other Northwest Coast nations,
built longhouses, but I am not familiar with any specifics of their
design or construction, which I am sure one of the listserve members
will be able to point you in the right direction on.
