CJ at residential schools

[David Robertson]

Klahowya,

I should note that Bill Jacobsen has told me of a Makah elder of his
acquaintance who picked up very good CJ at residential school in Oregon!

It was a breeding ground for CJ knowledge, that environment was.  With so
many tribes represented, and knowledge of English minimal, CJ was the most
efficient way for the pupils to communicate amongst themselves.
