Jewitt etc

[Sally Thomason]

If (as the phonology indicates) it was whites who introduced Nootka
Jargon words into CJ, it would've been the prestige of the whites,
not the Nootkas themselves, that helped explain the incorporation
of those words into everyone's CJ.

I don't recall any Portuguese-origin words in CJ; there isn't any
evidence that I know of to suggest such a direct link between CJ
and the Age-of-Exploration-and-Colonization spread of European-lexicon
pidgins & creoles around the globe.  (It's possible that I'm forgetting
something, though.  Certainly there were sailors on those early
ships who would have encountered speakers of European-vocabulary
pidgins and/or creoles in other ports.)
