>>>Footnote 2 mentions the possible connection of "Kanaka" with "Canuck"
>>>(originally 'an epithet for a dark-skinned French-Canadian of
>>part->Indian descent on the frontier').  Later the term, as the papers
>>>notes, became general for all Canadians.
>>>
>>>May I note that many people in the Spokane, Washington area at >least,
>>use the term "Doukhobor" [du*k at bor] in a similar way.  No >time to
>>define the term now, so I'll apologize, rrun, and point you >to the
>>encyclopedia.
>>
>>You mean they say "Doukhobor" to mean "swarthy Quebecker with Native
>>forebears" or to mean "any Canadian"?  (Either usage strikes my
>>Seattle-molded brain as just weird; I would *never* guess either from
>>*any* imaginable context!)  I thought Doukhobors were nonconformist
>>Slavic Canadians whose Christianity tended towards nudity.
>>
>>huy? (in both the Lushootseed and the English senses!)
