Tinainu

Tinainu was a village of the Tenino people on the south bank of the Columbia, near the rapids below The Dalles. Its name was used for the local band and for the Tenino more broadly. The river's great salmon runs drew people to the falls and rapids, where fishing places and trade brought together communities from the Columbia and the interior. The Tinainu also had a winter village at Eightmile Creek, away from their summer fishing settlements on the river.
