Throughout the fur trade era (1810-1840’s), he had the respect of the Hudson’s Bay Company, the Pacific Fur Company, and the North West Company. Chief Casanov Paul Kane 1847Ĭhief Kiesno (his name has also been spelled Keasno, Casino, Kiyasnu, Q’iesnu, Ciasno, Cassino, and Casanov, Ke-ez-a-no) was an important Multnomah-Wakanasisi Chinookan leader in the Wapato Valley (Portland Basin). Here are some of the historic quotes about him. It is probable that he is the model for the figure of Chief Multnomah fictionalized by Frederick Balch in his book Bridge of the Gods, a romanticized fictional account of the colonization of the region. There is then a transition to Oregon as an official U.S.

His time spanned the whole of the early colonization of Oregon and ends in 1848, when he passes. He is well documented in numerous encounters with a number of explorers, fur traders, and settlers. He was related to tribes throughout the lower Columbia region. Chief Kiesno was one of the most powerful chiefs on the Columbia River at the time of the fur trade and American settlement.
