1.--- clothes: small cedar-bark woven, over the shoulders, a poncho, shirt for the men. Short cedar-bark skirt for the women. No shoes or mocs. Sometimes a woven pointed hat to shield from rain.
2. -- food: Of course, salmon. But they also ate wap-a-toe, a potato-like root dug from swampy areas, and wild berries of all sorts. Also, clams, crabs, etc. Seafood of all types.
3. myths: The Chinook were famous story-tellers. It's what they did. Having no written history, the man or woman that could tell a good story, was a person held in very high regard.
Hope this helps.
