[edit] Taku River Tlingit First Nation

As it's redlinked, obviously no article yet; and by its title it should be for the government of the Taku River Tlingit, who are in British Columbia vs the Inland Tlinkit/Inland Tlingit of the Yukon Territory (whose government, or one of them, is the Teslin Tlingit Council. Posting this here, partly because I don't know if these are the same Taku as the ones in Alaska, and also so when it's no longer redlinked it can be put up as a See Also; and yeah, the title is inappropriate here and should be Taku people or Taku (tribe)Skookum1 01:55, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

PS and if they are the same, this article should also have the BCproj template; that Fort Durham is involved says to me that History of British Columbia should maybe be here; especially as until 1903 it was assumed that the whole Taku basin, including its estuary was (as with the Stikine and the Dyea-Skagway area) part of British Columbia....01:56, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

Skookum1, point take re article name. As you can see, I renamed it Taku people. Cheers. --Evb-wiki 02:05, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

Great; anyone know if these people in AK are the same group as the Taku River Tlingit, then? e.g. the Okanagan and Kutenai straddle the BC/US border similarly and have all relevant templates/content....Skookum1 02:14, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

According to the source cited, "[t]he Tlingit that inhabited the area that is now the City and Borough of Juneau at the time of the first European contact were the Auk, Taku, and Sumdum peoples." [1] So, yes, I believe so. --Evb-wiki 03:14, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

I guess it'll have to be checked with/about the Taku River Tlingit if that means the same thing as the Taku Tlingit; I'm not from that part of BC so wouldn't know....Skookum1 03:41, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
