CW in "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest"

[David Robertson]

Forgive the lightweight postings; I've been on vacation.

In the movie "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest", the boat that the inmates
steal to go joyriding is the Hyak.

Also the head of the asylum refers to a large fish he caught as (I think)
a "Chinooker".  He pronounces the word with a "hard ch" as in "chin".  Does
this mean the actor was not a Northwesterner?  The most common
pronunciation people use is "shinook".
