"The Clatsops are a band of the Chinooks, occupying the country on the Pacific coast, from the mouth of the Columbia river, about thirty miles south. Their lands are considered very valuable; they include what are called the Clatsop plains. Nearly all their territory is already claimed and occupied by settlers. They number in all eighty, and have ceded their lands to the United States."
"Ceded" their lands, yes, but to Anson Dart on Tansy Point in the 1850's but this treaty to my understanding and some 50 others around these parts, were never ratified and Dart in this letter, the above paragraph is excerpted from, even says they(The Clatsops) are a band of the Chinooks, which would confirm their legitimacy today would it not?
Anybody have any idea as to the current status of the "Clatsop Nation".
Can anybody locally, today, claim descendency to the "Clatsop Nation"?
Anybody know where "Indian Mary" is buried?
