Great resource[edit]

Someone created Colville (tribe) which is a good thing because there's a difference between the original meaning and what "the Colvilles" means today, i.e. a blended people/language on the Colville Indian Reservation, which includes the surviving original Colvilles. The source used by the author of that article turns out to have a lot of tribal and village and fishing-location information on all tribes, although most cites are older ones rather than modern: here is the link, though for Washington only, haven't looked at the Canada and Oregon sections.Skookum1 (talk) 14:27, 7 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

For quick reference these are the sources genealogy.com used to build/write that site:

Handbook of American Indians (1906) ~ Frederick W. Hodge
Villages of the Algonquian, Siouan, and Caddoan Tribes West of the Mississippi (1922) ~ David I. Bushnell
Drakes Indians of North America (1880) ~ Samuel G. Drake
The Indian Tribes of North America (1953) ~ John R. Swanton

All very out of date, but still the result is surprisingly thorough, though in need of updating/adapting.Skookum1 (talk) 14:38, 7 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Also found this and related pages; heavily propagandistic but with lots of details.Skookum1 (talk) 16:25, 7 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"globalization" of History and Population sections needed[edit]

CanCon is what I mean......I don't have time to research/add material right now but most content in those sections is USian, especially the population section. An article on teh Great Smallpox Epidemic of 1862 is definitely needed, and I know of a cite re the citation tag needed there, a new book from a Victoria author.....Skookum1 (talk) 04:03, 12 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Xelas/Xals - the Transformer[edit]

see here and on Talk:Xelas. Input needed, should be major article.Skookum1 (talk) 09:22, 3 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Fishing[edit]

We plan to expand the information for the fishing practices of First Nation people in BC, (Coast Salish). This would include the type of species's they fish as well their specific methods of fishing, the ecological and economic impact and how it relates with policies taken by the Canadian government regarding fishing licenses and other regulations. Our sources would include various anthropological papers and ethnographies on Coast Salish traditions as well as newspaper articles and explicit legislation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vicente.gonzalezm (talk • contribs) 18:47, 2 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Assessment comment[edit]

The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:Coast Salish/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.

Needs expansion and revision. Fairly superficial and only links to certain subgroups; this is a subset of Salishan languages but written more as a thing about "a people", when really of course the Coast Salish are many peoples only classified by linguistic commonalities and no other political unity. This article is either unnecessary, or a should be a secondary index within Salishan languages; and all subgroups should be listed. Skookum1 - 6 May, 06

Move reverted[edit]

I reverted Cuchullain's bold move to Coast Salish. Maybe I'm just used to the title Coast Salish peoples, but there are Coast Salish languages as well, and the bare "Coast Salish" title sounds... incomplete. I'm not sure if bare "Coast Salish" is the common name, as the appellation includes numerous tribes (but I'm not from the Pacific Coast area). I think this deserves a RM, or at least a discussion where should Coast Salish redirect to (if anywhere). No such user (talk) 15:57, 9 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

No such user: "Coast Salish" is certainly the common name for the, well, Coast Salish.[1][2][3][4][5] As such it better fits Wikipedia:Naming conventions (ethnicities and tribes) and the general WP:CRITERIA. The article was originally at "Coast Salish" until it was moved without discussion in 2011,[6] apparently on the grounds of confusion with the Coast Salish languages. However, this move and the dozens or hundreds of similar ones don't take into account WP:PRIMARYTOPIC and WP:TWODABS (the people are pretty obviously the primary topic over the languages that they speak, and that's backed up by the page view stats[7]). It's especially wonky in cases like this, where the base name Coast Salish still redirected to the people, meaning anyone who typed in or clicked on that search term comes to the article anyway, which simply should not be happening. Most moves of this type for Native American peoples have been restored. Consensus for this has been established at many RMs over the years (for a few examples, see 1 2 3 4, and recently, 5.) IMO, consensus is roundly in favor of restorations of this type; I'd hope it wouldn't take a formal RM in every remaining case just to get the discussion in line with almost all of the others.--Cúchullain ^t/c 16:21, 9 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

OK, you convinced me. Re-reverting myself... No such user (talk) 16:41, 9 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
