meaning of "chuckanut"

[E. Murphy]

Anybody want to  take a stab at the word "chuckanut" while we are waiting for Dave to post the treaty? I know "chuck" is water or saltwater but I would like more info on the word since I live in the Chuckanut area (south of Bellingham) of Washington.

Hayu masi,
