Kathlamet
The Kathlamet were a small Chinookan-speaking people who lived along the Columbia River in the vicinity of present-day Cathlamet, Washington, and the marshy islands of the lower Columbia estuary. Lewis and Clark encountered them in November 1805 during the descent of the Columbia and again on the return journey in March 1806, noting their villages, canoes, and trade goods. Like other Lower Chinookan peoples, the Kathlamet were deeply embedded in the Columbia River trade network, practiced cranial modification, and subsisted primarily on salmon, wapato root, and other riverine resources.
