Dave, for what its worth re: Tatoosh.In 1970 I visited Richard Daugherty's
dig at Lake Ozette, (Makah).  I was on a dig at the mouth of the Skagit
River at the time and it was a great thing to visit each other's sites.
While observing the work in progress there along the ocean I glanced down
into a pile of stone discards and found a breast-shaped rock, obviously
worked, with red ochre and some oil as binder outlining the  nipple.  It fit
in my hand.  I did give it to Daugherty.  Always wondered what happened to
it.  Now it seems to have added significance.

I am reading "Indians In The Making: Ethnic Relations and Indian Identities
Around Puget Sound by Alexandra Harmon.  It has several references to
Chinook Jargon.
