(in Native American context).  I'll forward Alan Hartley's post to

HOOCHNOO (continued)

   12 July 1875, CINCINNATI ENQUIRER, pg. 2, col. 4:
(Should read "in the proper season."  I'll add another paragraph--ed.)
   It was first made at an Indian ranch called "Hoochnoo," in Admiralty
Island, from which it took its name.  The indians soon learned the secret
of its manufacture, and communicated the knowledge from one to another,
until now all know it.
