Geocache Description:

Native American Tribes series.

Clatsop

A Chinookan tribe they formerly about C. Adams on the south side of the Columbia River and extending up the river as far as Tongue Point and south along the coast to Tillamook Head, Oregon. In 1806, Lewis and Clark estimated them to be about 200. In an 1851 treaty, the Clatsop tribe ceded 90 percent of their land to the U.S. Government. This treaty was one of many in the Northwest that were never ratified by Congress. Unlike other tribes, the members were not required to move to a reservation, and in fact, they were the only tribe in Oregon that was not removed to a reservation. Today, there are about 200 members who have recently organized as the Clatsop-Nehalem Confederation. The members are scattered across Oregon and southwestern Washington.
