[edit] Name spelling issue: possible move/renaming required

I noticed after creating this that there's supposed to an apostrophe before the capital N; it's in a couple of the redirects but one of those, whichever has the "right apostrophe" (same issue with 'Namgis First Nation, which isn't the right apostrophe but will redirect to a page with the right one in its title), should probably be the article, and this should be a redirect; Gwa'Sala and 'Nakwaxda'xw also exist as separate First Nation/Nation articles, and theoretically might be separate ethno articles (i.e. without "Nation", "First Nation" or "Indian Band" attached thereto), i.e. Gwa'Sala and 'Nakwaxda'xw, which would be ethno articles on these particular groups, now conjoined for administrative efficiency and whatever other affinities between them, but with separate histories, chieftaincies, particular customs etc (see the "Git-" subpages of Tsimshian for an idea of the range in each case); this article is for the band government governing two different, though allied, peoples - not for a single people, and perhaps the title is even properly plural, i.e. Gwa'Sala-Nakwaxda'xw Nations/First Nations, because of that; never mind all the potential different spelling systems, and the old Anglo renderings of these (Koksilah, I think, and Nahwitti). .Skookum1 03:33, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
