Two possibilities that I'm familiar with.
Canuck, an American pejortive term originally referring to French Canadians in the 19th century, now used to refer to all Canadians in relatively good natured teasing. The name of the Vancouver hockey team is the Canucks.
Chinook, an Indian tribe located in the northwest U.S. along the Columbia River and Pacific ocean, encountered by the Lewis & Clark expedition. Also a name for a helicopter, and a type of salmon.

Title: Turnips (Young) Stewed in Butter
Categories:
Yield: 4 Servings
Take two pounds of young turnips; cut them into
small squares or make them of any shape that may
be preferred; dissolve two ounces of fresh butter
in a saucepan sufficiently large to hold the
vegetables in a single layer; put in the turnips
and simmer them very gently until they are tender,
without being broken. A few minutes before they
are done enough, sprinkle a little salt and white
pepper over them; put them in the centre of a
dish, and arrange fried or boiled cutlets neatly
around them. Time; three quarters of an hour to
stew turnips.
