In his
Notes on the Ethnology of the Indians of Puget Sound
, Waterman describes the process: “‘Indian red’ (ochre)...is dug from the ground, kneaded by the women into lumps, and baked. The lumps are then broken open and the reddest portions picked out. These are pounded up as fine as flour, and mixed with salmon eggs.... This combination gives a beautiful dull red, which seems to adhere to a surface almost as well as our commercial paints, though it has no gloss” (47).

There was a Suquamish site with a similar name west of Gorst:
