The Clatsop (Lower Chinook: tɬác̓əp) are a Chinookan-speaking Indigenous people of the Pacific Northwest of the United States. In the early 19th century they inhabited an area of the northwestern coast of present-day Oregon from the mouth of the Columbia River south to Tillamook Head, Oregon. Today, Clatsop descendants are members of the federally recognized Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians,[1] as well as the unrecognized Chinook Indian Nation and Clatsop-Nehalem Confederated Tribes.
