Yep, salmonberries are very much like raspberries, but they aren't quite as flavorful. They come in orange & red, and the name stems from a variety of sources. One is that they (the orange ones) look like clusters of salmon eggs, and another is that the bears start heading for the salmon streams before the salmon are there, so they eat the salmonberries instead.
I'm sure xoB's explaination is correct too - the natives up here have multiple stories & reasons for everything!
