Talk:Ksi Sii Aks

Name

No sooner do I begin creating this that I find out that the Nisga'a Treaty terms proscribe various official name-changes, with this now the Ksi Sii Aks. I guess I should just change it right away, though I'm mindful of the number of poetnial pages already linked to this version, and which will need text revisions to embrace the new name (in the clusmy format t"thte Ksi Sii Aks (formerly known as the Tseax River)", since nobody else outside the Nass area will realize that "Ksi" means River. To me this is like asking English Canada to only refer to the Fleueve St. Laruent as the Fleuve St. Laruent and to dismiss anglicizations altogether; "TseaxZ" and "Sii Aks" are really just speling diffrences; politically-volatile spelling changes. It seems with every treaty we may be faced with extensive revisions to article names and links/mentions.....Skookum1 (talk) 03:10, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Tseax River → Ksi Sii Aks River – Correct/official name of the river (as the article itself points out. Google searches indicate c.19,000 results for "Tseax" and c. 21,000 for "Ksi Sii Aks", which, while not definitive, does tend to indicate that the latter is the common name. It has been moved previously, then (after some time) moved back; because that might indicate some controversy, i won't do it again without consensus.

Name again; no "River"?

So I see the page was moved from "Tseax River", the old name, to "Ksi Sii Aks River". It should probably just be "Ksi Sii Aks", without "River". This is, after all, the official name, as per "Ksi Sii Aks". BC Geographical Names.. It was changed in 2000, per the Nisga'a Treaty. In fact, searching BCGNIS for "Tseax" doesn't return the river at all, just Tseax Cone, the volcanic cone, and Tsea River, which is totally unrelated. Anyway, adding "River" to "Ksi Sii Aks" (and several other Nisga'a rivers in the area) seems unnecessary, awkward, and maybe even a bit rude to the Nisga'a. In any case, I am planning to make pages for nearby rivers (currently redlinks) whose names were changed under the Nisga'a Treaty, without using "River" in the title. Specifically the Xnukw (Iknouk River), Ishkheenickh River (Ksi Hlginx), and Kwinatahl River (Ksi Gwinhat'al). Pfly (talk) 06:13, 2 December 2016 (UTC)
