History
The Multnomah and the related Clackamas tribe lived in a series of villages along the river near the mouth of the Willamette River on the Columbia (the Willamette was also called the "Multnomah" in the early 19th century). The Clackamas Indians were a tribe of American Indians of the American state of Oregon. The Willamette River (pronounced) is a Tributary of the Columbia River. According to archaeologists, the villages in the area were home to approximately 3,400 people year-round, and as many as 8,000 during fishing and wappato-harvesting seasons (wappato was a marsh-grown plant like a potato or onion and a staple food).

One of the larger villages, Cathlapotle was located in present-day Clark County, Washington at the confluence of the Lewis River with the Columbia and was visited by the Lewis and Clark Expedition in 1805. Clark County is a County located in the southwestern part of the U The Lewis River is a tributary of the Columbia River, approximately long in southwestern Washington in the United States. According to their journals, Lewis and Clark found 14 houses in the village, most of them ranging from 14-by-20 ft (4. 3 m by 6. 0 m) to about 40-by-100 ft (12 m by 30 m). They reported that approximately 900 people lived in the villages.

Culture
The houses of the Multnomah, like the other Chinookan peoples, were largely longhouses made of Western Redcedar planks. In Archaeology and Anthropology, a long house or longhouse is a type of long narrow single-room building built by peoples in various parts of the world Western redcedar ( Thuja plicata) is a species of Thuja, an Evergreen coniferous Tree in the cypress family The size of a home depended on the wealth of the owner, with the larger houses furnishing living quarters for up to 100 people. Within each house, a particular family had a separate cubicle separated by woven mats that was approximately the size of a stall in a modern barn. Each family had its own fire, with the families also sharing a communal central fire in the household.
The Multnomah diet included salmon, eels, sturgeon, elk, water birds and especially wapato. Salmon is the common name for several species of Fish of the family Salmonidae.
