English term or phrase:cheechako
"Welcome to Alaska, cheechako!
If that's the greeting you get up north, don't be insulted. In Alaska and the Canadian Yukon, cheechako means nothing more sinister than "newcomer" or "tenderfoot," a stage you will outgrow if you stay around. The harsh climate and terrain of Alaska do make greater demands on newcomers than the Lower 49, and perhaps that is why there is a special northern word for them."
"A new-comer to Alaska, ignorant of the terrain, the weather, the animals, the culture, the necessary driving skills in the winter, etc. Opposite of a sourdough."

Ale czy cytowany tekst jest tekstem tłumaczonym, czy tylko przykładem zdań gdzie wystepuje 'cheechako', tak aby nas naprowadzić na najbardziej adekwatną odpowiedź? Bo jeśl ito rzeczywiście ten tekst Pani tłumaczy,to zgadzam się z przedmówcami, że pojęcie jest wytł.zdanie później i lepiej, żeby zostało w oryginale...
Wg mnie -- nie ma co eliminować lokalnego kolorytu.
