Abstract
"The first Catholic missionaries Father M. Demers and Father F. N. Blanchet, who arrived in Oregon in 1838 and traveled through all the country to visit and teach its numerous Indian tribes never found among them the origin of that name. One tribe only the Chinooks who lived on the right bank of the Columbia opposite Astoria gave Father Demers any name to the river calling it 'Wikait Wimaik'."
