Klahowya,

I'm an IWW organizer in Portland and a beginning Chinook speaker. I've asked
about the lyrics to Skookum Ryan and the union's historian is looking into
locating them. I'll post if they are located.

FWIW: The first IWW branch in Vancouver (1906) was made up of First Nation
longshoremen. I'm sure there was more than some wawa on the docks.

Ikt Skookum Mamook Kunamokst (One Big Union?)
