"Dictionary of Canadian Biography" now online

Fully searchable.  They've only got volumes 1-14 up so far, meaning you
can only find folks who died before 1920.  Soon they should have more
volumes, so you'll be able to read about Father Le Jeune for example.  In
the meantime, a trip to a good library will allow you to see the later
volumes.

I typed the word Chinook in the search box and got some fascinating
articles as results.  Among them, Bishop Paul Durieu and Chief Louis
(Kamloops Shuswap).
