I. Powell _Rept. Sup. Ind. Aff. B.C. 1872-73_ p. 4 (1873):

"The Chinook jargon, usually alluded to as the common language of the
coast..is very little used or understood by natives outside of white
settlements, and is generally (I think justly too) despised by them, as
being far inferior in every way to their own tongue.""
