View comments (edit) Major Interior Salish group (Shuswap); this is a people-stub and will also need language article as well as many subgroup articles --Skookum1 (6 May 06) Needs a lot of expansion, citations, ethnobox, etc. --Miskwito 15:04, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "Shuswap" should be a disambig page

Shuswap currently redirects here, but there should be a disambig page because of the common nature of this name in BC: Shuswap Lake, Shuswap River, Shuswap Country (pointedly in the local argot, "the Shuswap), the Shuswap Nation (not the same thing as Secwepemc, since there are non-Shuswap Nation bands who are Secwepemc, and the Shuswap Nation article needs creating anyway. I think there's also a couple of provincial, maybe federal, electoral districts that have/had Shuswap in their names.Skookum1 03:03, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

That's a very skookum idea ;-)

[edit] Secwepemc Museum and Heritage Park

This and institutions like it should all get articles; the St'at'imc have their own (a proposal currently), the Siska Band have theirs and more, including Weetama at Whistler and so on; all in Category:Visitor attractions in British Columbia as well as various FN and museum categories.. Also re the above I'll redlink Shuswap (disambiguation) or make the Shuswap redirect the disambig page, one of the two...most English users of Shuswap, at least in BC, will not be using it so much for the people as for the region, lake or river...I also have to get around to stubbing up Shuswap Country I guess..Skookum1 (talk) 05:10, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] ToDo pages for each people/nation

It occurred to me that a certain page in each category, I guess the main article, shoulld have a todo list for that topic category, like a mini-WikiProject on each one; this way, maybe, when someone with the interest and/or from one of those areas or nations comes by, there's a directory of existing/avialable titles/topics. Such is the case with the Secwepemc Museum and Weetama and but also bios, community articles, issue articles in need of doing, project/organization articles e.g. the language and education authorities, which are distinct frrom teh tribal councils, and so on....so Talk:Secwepemc#ToDo_List, Talk:Shishalh#ToDo_List, Talk:Nlaka'pamux#ToDo_List etc.....
