Lewis & Clark Trail
									Troutdale Oregon
									An interpretive sign at Chinook Landing describes a major Chinookan village nearby that the Corps encountered on November 4, 1805. Clark counted 52 canoes and was introduced to the wapato root: "This root they call the Wap-pa-to ... it has an agreeable taste and answers verry well in place of bread. we purchased about 4 bushels of this root and divided it to our party." Clark's drawing of house plans, left.
