Arctic and Subarctic Tribes: CHINOOK
Chinook

The Chinook were patrifocal. The oldest man in his prime was the head of the household. There were usually three generations in each home: a man's wives, sons and blood relatives. They also owned slaves. The bride's family gave gifts to the groom's family at the marriage and at the birth of each child she had. The wealthy bought their wives (a lot of polygyny). At puberty the girl was secluded under taboos. When children were born they were placed in cradles and not named until a year after. Their language structure is uncertain, but some believe that it is of the Penutian Language Family.
