CJ in Pidgin Japanese?

[Anthony Grant]

A group of Japanese sailors is sometimes also claimed to have been in Miluk Coos territory.  They were referred to in Coos as /saagandas/ as I recall, which looks like the French-derived Ojibwe term for English (or, in Oklahoma Ottawa, white people in general) and a bit like the Japanese word for fish.

Or perhaps from the rumoured stranded Japanese sailors village in  
Tillamook country?
