souvenir coffee mug

[Emmett Chase]

Up in Fairbanks there is a feed store that carries a special blend of
Ravens Brew coffee (www.ravensbrew.com) called Skookum Blend.  A
friend who was there recently brought me back a travel mug advertising
this blend.  On one side it says Halo Wawa, Muckamuck Kaupy (with a
little TM sign) and on the other it says Shut Up and Drink The Coffee
(also TM).  Also appears this little blurb:
Skookum, means "strong/great" in the Chinook trade jargon of the
mighty first nations of the great Northwest.  Skookum Blend (TM) is
our tribute to those great cultures and their heritage that has so
enriched and instructed the lives of all of us.

There is also some nice artwork by someone named Ray Troll, depicting
some First Nations people in a canoe.

I have no idea how good the coffee is.
