Insertion of items in Tribal Council Templates
I wanted to add Cácl'ep (Xaxl'ip - Fountain) to the Lillooet Tribal Council section, but couldn't see how. Pointers? (Fountain/Cácl'ep hasn't been written yet, but it's coming).Skookum1 06:11, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
- Hi Skookum1! The Lilloeet Tribal Council is included in this article as a Wikipedia:Template, and so can be edited like other pages at Template:Lillooet Tribal Council. To include a template on a Wikipedia page you can use the syntax of "{{Template Name}}" or "{{Template:Template Name}}". Your recent work is great by the way! Kurieeto 01:56, 27 November 2005 (UTC)]
Note on governments vs. people/ethno articles
Currently List of First Nations governments in British Columbia redirects here, and the content here conforms with that. But there should be a simpler listing of First Nations by ethnic group only, not directed to band governments; see notes on Skwxwu7mesh_Uxwuimixw/Squamish Nation merge discussion as to why, as it's too complicate to explain/explicate twice... ;-) .

Issue with intro
Hi BrainyBabe....in regards to your reworking, just to note re the following:
- Many of these Ethnic groups include the Haida, Salish, and Nisga'a, all examples of the Indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest Coast.
With that wording Coast Salish should be used, and the Tsimshian and the Wakashan peoples should be mentioned; might be too cumbersome to say "Nuu-chah-nulth, Kwakwaka'wakw, Heiltsuk, Wuikinuxv and Haisla]], and taht still doesn't include the Ditidaht or Gitxsan (who are reckoned as being part of the coastal culture, though Interior in geography). But also, since this is the intro the peoples of the Plateau should be mentioned; again too many to list and there's no Indigenous peoples of the Northwest Plateau though of course there should be (as per Category:Indigenous languages of the North American Plateau, which again still doesn't include the Sub-Arctic peoples). I hvaent' had time to write the Plateau article - it's very complex south of the line so had avoided it .... ;-)Skookum1 (talk) 17:11, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for the info! I am no expert in these areas, but I thought it a pity that the excellent article talk) 08:10, 17 September 2008 (UTC)]
should be renamed a list
In its current state, without a write up, and very much like a
- It's definitely a list. IMO go ahead and move it. PKT(alk) 17:02, 16 August 2009 (UTC)
- Needs an admin; I already tried....which is why I posted it on CANTALK.....what do you think of all those templates being used instead of a proper list? I'm thinking maybe it would be better to copy over and re-order the table from List of Indian Reserves in Canada#Indian Reserves in British Columbia.Skookum1 (talk) 19:55, 16 August 2009 (UTC)]
- Complicating the matter somewhat is that List of First Nations peoples in British Columbia is still called for, especially because there are a number of peoples now extinct (Tsetsaut and Stuwix for starters, but others who are vanished subunits of the Nuu-chah-nulth, Sto:lo, Kwakwaka'wakw, Haida etc, but also the Sinixt who do not have a band government). Also band governments do not correspond to peoples, not in BC anyways. So ultimatley one list for reserves, one for band governments, one for peoples; and also List of British Columbia communities with significant aboriginal populations, correspnding to List of United States cities with majority Native American populations and the like....Skookum1 (talk) 20:02, 16 August 2009 (UTC)]
- There does not appear to be any controversy (given this discussion and the fact that it's been posted at WP:CANBOARD for almost a year), so the request for an admin to move the moves should be made at WP:RM under "uncontroversial requests". --Skeezix1000 (talk) 15:46, 6 July 2010 (UTC)]
