Mr. Hale supposed this to be a corruption of the French word Francais. It is, however, really derived from the foregoing word, PASISI, with the terminal UKS, which is a plural form applied to living beings.  Lewis and Clarke (vol. ii., p. 413) give Pashisheooks, clothmen, as the Chinook name for the whites, and this explanation was also furnished me by people of that tribe.  It has since been generally restricted to the French Canadians, though among some of the tribes east of the Cascade Range, it is applied indiscriminately to all the Hudson’s Bay people.
