Mixed blood, etc.

[Sorrel Goodwin]

Hello there all,

My name is Yashkandaets', I am an Auk Tlingit, living in Juneau Alaska, an
archivist and a fan of Chinook Jargon. I had a few questions that maybe
someone could answer: First of all what is the CJ word for "half-breed or
mixed-blood" ? Secondly, is "Siwash" still considered derogatory, and why?

Thanks, I look forward to being a part of this group, my great-grandparents
spoke Tlingit, English, and Chinook Jargon.
