The pot calls the kettle black: Protestant missionary William Henry Lomas (1839-1889) criticizes the Catholic missionary for preaching in Chinuk Wawa.

A really interesting phrase pops up in a fictionalized Puget Sound-area hunting story that I found:

Trekking further into the evergreen woods of Washington, BC, and points north, where a bunch of southern-dialect Chinook Jargon words weren’t known…

The tone of today’s news clipping is flippant.

On the authority of his buddy and fellow “Stevens Treaties” translator Benjamin Franklin Shaw, George Gibbs tells us a word si′-pah ‘straight (like a ramrod)’.

Here’s another taste of what we can learn from the Lane Community College learners of Chinuk Wawa…

From the “Small World” Dept.!

Here’s a marvelous discovery…

Here’s another kind of thing we don’t do in Chinook Jargon, so pay attention and learn to talk fluently…

Hayu masi to Alex Code for reminding me of this striking episode in the Kamloops Wawa newspaper!
