[edit] Etymology not consistent with Bow River

This article says:

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

but Bow River 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

Only one of these theories can be correct. Which? Gdr 08:15, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
