Saya (Athabaskan) people in California

[David Robertson]

John P. Harrington's 1943 article "Pacific Coast Athabaskan discovered to 
be Chilcotin" [sic!] is in the J Wash Acad Sci 33(7):203-213.

In it he implies the Saya people (another name for the Nongatl in NW 
California, related to the Hupa) got that name from Chinook Jargon's word 
for "far off".

Anyone here know if that's true?  If so it could be another indicator of 
just how far South CJ spread.
