[edit] Etymology not consistent with Bow Valley

This article says:

The name "Bow" refers to the reeds that grew along its banks and which were used by the local First Nations peoples to make bows

but Bow Valley says:

It may be named for its resemblance to an archer's bow.

Only one of these theories can be correct. Which? Gdr 08:16, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
