2496:, so there's no point in THAT title; effectively it's as useless, or too broad anyway, as the old Vancouver Island one, even though there might only be six bands (and only three peoples/languages, plus any dialects) in total when it's finally made; maybe ten, I wouldn't know. So any ideas? I can't use "Northern Kwakiutl First Nations/peoples" either, of course - not that I would - but I'm at a loss for what else to call these people as a group, if they can or should be labelled as a group that is, for the purposes of making a template? Is that too cheap a reason? On parting, maybe "of the North and Central Coast of Brtish Columbia" could incorporate the Haida and the Tsimshian; although to me the North Coast would include the Gitxsan and Nisga'a - I've never been up there so don't know if that's correct; just going by the TV weather guy's region breakdowns '-0 - there's only a couple of Haida bands/villages, and not that many Tsimshian I think; maybe it's better to have them all together? But if we combine "them" (the Central Coast peoples/govs) with the North Coast, why not just incorporate them in a template with the Kwakwaka'wakw. But if we do, then what to call it? Oh - four peoples, the Bella Coola/Nuxalk would seem to be obvious on the same template, although they're Salishan. OK, gonna chow. 894:

about expression, where before it had a purpose. Art vs. Design. The house posts, the spindle-whorls, the combs, the canoes, the everything, it was all made for a purpose. The Skwxwu7mesh did recieve a lot of influence from the Kwakwaka'wakw and other northren tribes, but that was after contact, and most of the tradiing and fish canneries was going on. There is a spindle-whorl the Washington Museum that has a Salish-Skwxwu7mesh spindle-whorl. Very salish design. Very beautiful. It might of be carved by one of my ancestors. Traded in front of the Saint Pauls Church in N. Van in the late 1800's. But, there is a coming of Salish art through-out the Salish nations, and back prior to contact, it was a lot more specific to each area. Although "salish" in design, there was something "Skwxwu7mesh" about this design, or this design, but it looked Salish. It's very interesting. Either that or people are just getting tired of Kwakwaka'wakw and Haida designs. (Between me and you, most of the work that I see from there looks like cartoons to me, but there are some very exceptional artists/designers that make beautiful work.) We have poles and house posts being put back up in territory. But, it would be cool to do some pages on the art froms for the Kwakwaka'wakw and Haida and Salishan.

579:(They are ancestrial names, passed down through the generations.) The first Xwchtaal was from stawamesh (stawmus) in Squamish. He was given the name Xwupukinem after he killed the serpent. Now, as far as I've learned, Xwupukinem/Xwchtaal has one of the most stories about him. That's the thing about my culture and how we kind of immortalize people. The spirit of Xwupukinem/Xwcthaal is handed down and his spirit lives through all the stories of him. From killing the serpent, to beind obducted by the seal people, to everything else. There is actually a photo taken in the 1800's at Fort Langley of 100 skwxwu7mesh canoes going up the Fraser Rivers being lead by Xwupukinem of that time. Then, with our culture of potlatching, the Husdon's Bay Company named him "Squamish Chief". They were not customed to the governance system around here and were used to the trading ways back east. "Deal with one tribal chief, then trade." But here, it was a lot different. So, they just asked around, and said, who's is your leader, and named him chief. Xwupukinem at the time was one of the highest ranking around this area. After him, it was Kiyap7lanexw (Ancestors of August Jack). 1162:

sometime after August 25th when the survey took place, so this wasn't Emancipation Day, August 1, which was the first holiday declared in the colony and commemorated the abolition of slavery in the British Empire some decades before; Douglas' idea, and pissed off the Americans here big-time.... So the upshot is that this was a BIG scandal - the military abusing power to take land for themselves - prime land, too, even though the railway was at that time only a promise, and increasingly one that looked like it was to be broken by Ottawa. These guys were only stripped of the land and no charges were laid; there was no one to replace them, and really no legal jurisprudence to try them under; actual charges I don't think were not filed, or anything that did come out on paper was stayed by Begbie (who later on, or was it in the '60s, was accused of land involvements as well, but it was a trump-up). The lots cut up, other than the locations of the military reserves, were wiped off the map, and the next round of surveys, which forms the basic lots underlying Vancouver and Burnaby and so on today, is completely different.

or idiosyncratic distinctivenesses; like there is in the Lillooet variety; local words get fused/simplified into the Jargon, and all the Jargon's other words - whatever the source language, be it Nootkan, French, Chinook, Kalapuya or English - get transformed from group to group. My theory and some experience anyway; current chinookological officialdom, such as they've made of themselves, maintain that there was an aborigninal constant; I maintain that's because of the Sprachbund's common phonology, but there would still be different lexicons partly from local variation and also from different non-native use in the same area, e.g. in the Chilcotin there's mention in one source of Gaelic and Russian components, and around Fort Langley Hawaiian words came into common use; around Lillooet there were Mexican ones as well as St'at'imc ones...so Morley's "hegas" is interesting because it points at a variation in the standard lexicon in this area; much undocumented and researched.

out...and over the years after settlement began (1866 for Moodyville I think, with Hastings Mill/Gastown started in 1867) bodies would occasionally be found on or near beaches around the inlet, often with traces of gold rush-era equipment...I'll have to also dig up another bit from Morley for you about Col. Moody getting in a quarrel with either the Skwxu7mesh (close?) "chief" or the Burrard one, when Moody was surveying the first land alienations near the inlet (either at Port Moody or around the PNE, I can't remember); Moody responded by (as Lieutenant-Governor at the time, subordinate only to Governor...Musgrave, it would be by then I guess....) freeing all the guy's slaves - thereby (although Morely doesn't say this; my conjecture/interpolation) breaking the guy's wealth as well as his prestige, and considerable loss of face. I'd imagine this is in your own histories, albeit in another version...but I'll find Morely's quote, and I remember seeing it in Matthews as well.

2782:, with one about the "modern" use of Nicola (for a people, even though it's also historical) vs the ethnographers'/linguists' tendency to use "Nicola people" to mean the Athapaskan-speaking Stu'wix; somebody merged the two articles and missed the point of the distinction between the Nicolas of the usual sense - the peoples of the Nicola Alliance - and the linguistic meaning; so they merged stuff that shouldn't be merged; I re-inserted a section header "Nicola Athapaskans" and it's my intent to split that content off. But here's the rub - "Stu'wix" or "Stuwix" is the Scw'exmxtsn word for them - "strangers" - so that's not their own name. On the one hand I suppose it's better to use an indigenous name vs a non-indigenous one; except that Nicola is sort of an indigenous name, even without its nativized spelling of N'kwala; but of course it doesn't refer even to an Athapaskan chief, but a Nicola-Shuswap one; so for lack of anything else, the new main article should be 2176:

argument well, but this is supposed to be an encyclopedia, not an invective or a tract; information about how these governments run, including budgets/priorities, powers, programs, economic development etc. is what's called for on the "Indian Act" government pages. It's not supposed to be a politicized article, and politicized content you can expect will eventually get edited; it's enough to explain that the Indian Act governments, being imposed by the white man, are not recognized as a legitimate political expression by many Squamish, as in other First Nations, but they remain constituted because of the absence of any treaty recognition/reconciliation and the displacement, inherent in the Indian Act and reserve systems and associated laws/treatment of native people destroying their societies and pre-extant self-government. Keep it simple; and avoid words like "stolen" which will often readers, ie. as the narrator; fine in

using plumb bob and tripod to draw invisible lines on the landscape, to make this from that and something whole into something packageable and saleable and controllable...no need to go on, I'm just letting on I understand the essential absurdity of this and the stark contrast to the relationship to the land to the one the same bunch of fellows who destroyed that relationship with the new system, i.e. the guys who surveyed it, were also the ones who were appropriating it for themselves; Moody, the senior army official and military head of the Colony, and the RN Admiral; Moberly was the son of an HBC factor, and Burnaby was Col. Moody's secretary. That's the same Robert Burnaby who got most of the back woods behind New Westminster (once the new land allotments were laid out that is the basis of today's Burnaby; his old property line is, I think, Edmonds, or 16th - whatever the New West-Burnaby boundary street is).

Mission High in, I guess it was when I started, in 1967. I know I've heard lots of Shuswap and Nlaka'pamux'tsn also from being up and around the southern Interior, think I'd recognize Okanagan if I heard it as being simliar but different ...(or howver the 'tsn is supposed to be; linguists use a different spelling system than the bands, sometimes...getts confusing (I was raised in Mission and Lillooet and have been all through there most of my life, on and off. Not native but have an ear for it; but a city boy now...Chinook I'm interested in from the historical angle, and the impact a few of its words still have in local English; and not just because my name is Skookum1. But docs and tapes are rare, and how it was used among non-Natives was rarely recorded (though sometimes), and my interests lie in the direction how bits of it fused with English; even "in the sticks" is supposed to be of CJ-idiom origin -

Interior cultures in their regalia etc; at the Ure Creek blockade, I remember seeing the TV coverage with him offering prayers to the spirits of Axa7, the name of the burial ground and also the place of the dead beyond the world/beyond the west, before the loggers could proceed; he was wearing an intense array of ribbons mixed with a particular kind of buckskin, only some beading; and the Lillooet basketry was in many cases high-art (Lillooets have a technique for making waterproof baskets that not even the Nlaka'pamux or any of their other neighbours have; the secret is currently known to only two women in the upper St'at'imc, one the wife of the chief of the Setons when I was living there...they're divorced now, she's back in Fountain and is one of the main language teachers; she was taught by a Shalalth elder, I'm not sure which one. Been inside and out

2892:. I'm at my last couple of weeks in Knowledge so just tidying up loose ends, and pointing to others. This terminology thing is one that always bugs me and wondering about your thoughts on it; also if I can leave in your "in" basket all the people/reservation/language articles that need splitting up and recategorizing, and in some cases the CanCon elements introduced (e.g. the Kutenai article is near-totally US written). Too much to do overall, although it's funny I have a wider grasp of what all needs doing now, I just have to deal with making a living (which of course Knowledge doesn't do). Would like to tidy up/resolve the template/categorization issues in BC before I'm gone; but then there's also about 30 articles I'd like to fix/rewrite before I go too....and I'm currently packing, or should be... ;-). 869:

than on display (like so much else). The pictograph rock that used to be on display in Stanley Park is supposed to be there - I think it's the one that Johnson writes about as the witche's rock, the witch turned into a stone marked with all her sins - it's from the Fraser Canyon somewhere originally. But when I was doing my Gastown research there were lots of old pics of Stanley Park, some from around where the monkey cage is/was (long before it was built) of "culturally-modified trees" that had "watcher" figures carved around the base of the tree, and I think one that had a face on it; and more stuff like that all through the Park; those pics are in the VPL but you'd have to sit with their volumes of prints and find them; I don't have my old index notes anymore...

of the Indian Act governments articles is the same in the states, although under different legislation/treaties; the Reservation agencies/governments are in the same category; sometimes, or sort of; note though that the agency/government of a reservation isn't in the same category as the communities, villages, and reserves; one is the governing body, the other is the item itself; one the parasite, the other the host, as it were; so the reserve/reservation/community articles are community and geography articles like any other, except that they're interlinked with the cultural and political articles and so on. Complex, huh? It gets worse, but I'll save that for tomorrow. In the meantime have a look at

northren art during the fishing season because of the inter-mariage between Salish and northren tribes. But, (not sure you are familar with), Salish Art is actualy strikingly beautiful and complex, if done right. It's coming in sort of a rennasaince right now among Salish peoples, but it's very beautiful. Susan Point is one of the most known artists, but I don't care for her work (taste reasons.) But that is interesting about the slave and the "chief". It's awful how many of the early christians and settlers had a weird view of slavery. But, that's an interesting story. Never heard anything about that, but, I'll ask. Hoping to visit my teacher tomorrow.

ones actualy, like Chiyakmesh and Stawamesh, that have mesh, although because of tranlsations by early anthropologists, it came out Stawames, or however it's selt. Chiyakmesh, a village on the Cheakmes River (you probably know what I'm talkin about), translates to "People of the Fishing Weir". The fishing weir is called "chiyak" in my language so, you can see how it's created. Also, with the "People of the Wind" and "The Unified People" mumbo jumbo. Your probably right about it being marketing. The idea it being "The Big Wind" seems more centered around the town of Squamish, and it's connection to the wind. But, if you break it down it goes like this.

778:(in whatever capacity he was, as I know "chief" is not the right word...) then it was something like spirit-capture; the power of the regalia and mask was not therefore robbed by the camera, as it might have been had the chief been in front of the lens and the Major behind it. There's three outfits, and they're all striking to me as to the variance of traditional Coast Salish costume with the neo-Kwakiutl/Haida "fashion" of more recent times (like that sasquatch design on my userpage, which is on the side of a bus shelter in Seton Portage; where such art was unknown before the fusion of native cultures caused by white encroachment/cultural pressures.... 537:, who's from Anahim Lake and whose mom is the Ulkatcho chief; note that I linked all the individual reserves, alhthough in the long run only the inhabited ones should get "community" articles; but many uninhabited reserves already have stubs....it's an issue for both the Indigenous people's project as well as the BC project, but unresolved; for now they could all be stubs; but many there won't be much to say about them, esp. if they are only plots of lands, rather than existing/historical communities; "only plots of land" of course isn't meant to demean them as ancient fishing or spiritual sites; if there's something known like that 1154:

But it's further weird its discussion page shows a redirect, while it itself didn't. And the redirect, which doesn't have the accents, goes to a page that does......AAAAAARGH. And also, if you're going to use "culturally-correct" names could you please make a point of covering ALL POSSIBLE VARIANT SPELLINGS with redirects? It's not like ordinary poele know how to spell Sḵwxwú7mesh-ulh Uxwumixw in order to look it up, after all.

This is why the anglicized, and in other cases French or Spanish names of aboriginal communities are often rendered, plus an IPA as to how to pronounce it for people who know how to read IPA, usually professional linguists but also lots of "amateurs", too, though to me it's still pretty technical. Just trying to be helpful and encouraging, and asking to remember that people unfamiliar with local realities are meant to read this, wherever they are in the world; make everything accessible. I try to, although admittedly in unintentionally overblown fashion...

2476:- as I can't just put "Central Coast peoples" as that's a disambig problem for sure; or "BC Central Coast peoples"; but even if that's an acceptable term, and I'm not sure is it - as there's no collective indigenous name for these three peoples - I'm not sure where the Central Coast begins and the South Coast starts; I've always assumed Campbell River but might Queen Charlotte Strait be part of the South Coast? Seems more likely to be Central Coast, or not? Reason is that if it's Campbell River then "Central Coast" takes in all the same as 742:

of my ancestors in the 1800's were a bit rowdy. It's hard dealing with a history with no post-colonization militant resistance, but oh well. Any who, I haven't heard much. After small-pox, and all that, the villages were desemated so very little resistance was offered, and the people were hit so hard, emotional and community wise, very little opposition to assimilation and colonization tactics by settlers and the government was really done. This is interesting. I'll have to find out more about, I only know a bit about this.

The Tyee had it with that spelling so I'd adjusted it, thinking it was correct.

that. Yeah, it translates to "People of the Amazing Drinking Water", but it doesn't specifically mention that we have that name because of the healing and spiritual properties of the water in our mountains, creeks, and rivers. Another example could be this rock near Science World in False Creek, (forgot the actually name of place), it translates to "Place of Suicide". It's about this story of a young man who committed suicide, well, the story is actually quite long...lol

1641:- the latter one is especially, even shockingly, absent of any Native American content, the first one doesn't discuss the native sentiments at all; not that it can't be added, it's just that the Yankees who've mostly written that page haven't even stopped to think about it; I try to remind them from time to time, but it's hard enough to get them to listen to giving equal time to the British side of the dispute - never mind the First Nations/Native American one!! 1285:, but at least there's a redirect; WP policy is for the most common name in English etc.). Anyway, the article was translated from French (Levi-Strauss) and was pretty mangled English when I found it; still is but have a look at the previous version ;-p Anyway, articles on individuals like this need careful attention, and non-First Nations sources like Boas and Levi-Strauss are going to come up all the time; anyway, just letting you know it's there FYI. 31: 653:; there are actual page refs but I never took them down, and sold my copies to MacLeod's Books this last spring for groceries ($ 100 for the set...).

But, I'll do what I can. 821:, discusses the Cowichan peoples' view of slavery and also the non-chiefly system of government. Morley does point out that neither the Squamish nor Musqueam nor others had chiefs but rather "hegas men", by which I think he means "hyas man" in the usual Chinook Jargon, with "hegas" being the local variant. 2668:- thought that's all drawn from Teit and I'd love to get someone from the N'kwala people, maybe the contributor to Scx'ex'nx/Shackan, to provide the other point of view; again the oral history problem, unless they've put something into publication, even a curriculum/textbook, that could be cited.

I'd speculate Morley's manuscript had another paragraph there about what I found out from either Akrigg or Peter MacDonald's atlas of Vancouver (or ??).

That is very interesting. I've heard of a few things for the North Shore where the Warriors gathered, (not sure if it's the romanticized kind of "warriors" or the actualy monastic society that existed), in North Vancouver when the settlers started getting rowdy. Either way, it's nice to know some

The Sko-ko-mish had a reputation for ferocity, whether deserved or not, it is hard to tell now. At least, Vancouver was avoided by white men. As shadowy as the "two men in a canoe" is the tradition of one Supple Jack, who lived near Siwash Rock, and was credited in the reminiscences of oldtimers

Okay, where to start. The story is far fetched, and broken. Probably one of the most broken in that book. The warrior who killed the serpent (sinulhkay), was xwupukinem/xwchtaal. He was from the village of stawmus. That man, is my direct ancestor actualy. My two uncles carry those names now.

On top of that the bias has been against non-native use of the Jargon, even though at one time tens of thousands of non-natives knew at least some, and apparently in BC communities - Burrard Inlet - oldeer families would speak Chinook to each other at home, with no one else present; and they might
