The backed pronunciation of K seems to be fairly common.  Even in the SE I noticed it frequently among speakers of Muskogee Creek.  

And the Micmac spell their name Miqmaq nowadays, don't they?  I assume this may represent a uvularized pronunciation.  

I haven't heard it among Siouan speakers that I recall though.
