	Chinook - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Chinook Jargon is a form of that language, technically known as a pidgin or contact language, which evolved to allow the inhabitants of the Columbia River region to discuss business.
		The Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) is Alaska's state fish and is native to the Pacific coasts of North America and Northeast Asia.
		Chinook winds are warm, dry, usually irregularly occurring katabatic winds, similar to Alpine foehn winds, that come down the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains into the plains of North America.

		The father of the breed, Chinook, was born on author/explorer Arthur Walden's Wonalancet, New Hampshire farm in 1917.
		Chinook's offspring, who inherited his coloring, size and general characteristics, were bred to combine the strength of the large freight dog with the speed of the smaller racing sled dogs.
		The Chinook was developed to be a working sled dog and any deviation from the standard which compromises that purpose should be penalized in proportion to the degree of the deviation.

	Chinook Salmon - Office of Protected Resources - NOAA Fisheries (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Chinook salmon are very similar to coho salmon in appearance while at sea (blue-green back with silver flanks), except for their large size, small fl spots on both lobes of the tail, and fl pigment along the base of the teeth.
		Chinook salmon are anadromous (adults migrate from a marine environment into the fresh water streams and rivers of their birth) and semelparous (spawn only once and then die).
		Chinook salmon stocks exhibit considerable variability in size and age of maturation, and at least some portion of this variation is genetically determined.

	Chinook Jargon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Chinook Jargon was a trade language (or pidgin) of the Pacific Northwest, which spread quickly up the West Coast from Oregon, through Washington, British Columbia, and as far as Alaska.
		During the Gold Rush, Chinook Jargon was used in British Columbia by gold prospectors and Royal Engineers.
		Chinook Jargon (Chinuk Wawa) is still spoken as a first language by some residents of Oregon State, much as the Métis language Michif is still spoken in Canada.

	Chinook Salmon: Wildlife Notebook Series - Alaska Department of Fish and Game
		In the ocean, the chinook salmon is a robust, deep-bodied fish with a bluish-green coloration on the back which fades to a silvery color on the sides and white on the belly.
		Chinook salmon may become sexually mature from their second through seventh year, and as a result, fish in any spawning run may vary greatly in size.
		Chinook salmon do not feed during the freshwater spawning migration, so their condition deteriorates gradually during the spawning run as they use stored body materials for energy and for the development of reproductive products.

		The Chinook program that the machine is running (or might it be more helpful to think of the program as running the machine?) consists of roughly 50,000 lines of code in the C programming language, together with an enormous data-base of codified checkers-knowledge that has been years in the making.
		Chinook is not subject to fatigue as people are, and can play games that go on indefinitely; in fact, Chinook is like a pit bull, and will keep on harrying its opponent as long as its own hide isn't in danger.
		Thus, the Chinook and Colossus that emerged from this exchange were not the same as the earlier versions of the programs that bore the same names; metaphorically, it would be more accurate to view the new hybridized programs as the progeny of a strategic union of two royal families.

		Chinook salmon spend 1 to 8 years at sea before returning to natal streams to spawn.

	Chinook Salmon/Fish of the Great Lakes by Wisconsin Sea Grant
		Chinook were the first Pacific salmon to be transplanted to other parts of the world, but the only notable success in creating self-sustaining stocks has been in New Zealand.
		A key factor in this general failure was that, like other Pacific salmon, chinook salmon seek the stream of their birth to spawn and die.
		During their four- to five-year lifespan, chinooks feed on large numbers of alewifes and so put more pressure on the lake's alewife population.
