Talk:List of place names in Canada of Indigenous origin

message: From the look of the main article it looks like only major cities are on the list; and it looks like you've evolved parameters for interest/hits or something as to what warrants a placenames inclusion.  Potentially this list is huge and will need either subcategories of bullet-sections and subsections to break it down by area; the straightforward alphabetical list will be massive if all native placenames in Canada; even just in BC or Quebec or Manitoba alone.  The names in the section title above are translations into the local language of definitely-significant towns and localities as well as their governing organizations and languages etc; they're in Wiki already, even though you've never seen them unless you've been in that particular part of BC or are up on native-BC news.  I'll do the main well-known placenames in BC which are native in origin (and continuing use, in places like Kispiox and Kitimat and Cowichan) but I'm curious as to any guidelines for this kind of list; I gather hopelessly obscure names will never get hits, so that would mean they're off the list?  I'll put in the ones I think are worth putting in I guess; and see where it goes from there (up or down); if someone thinks it's getting to need management into subcategories and knows how to do it, once it gets big enough (it will).Skookum1 09:50, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

message: Been thinking about this for a while even before I came to Wikiworld.  After studying the Jargon pretty intently for a couple of years I wound up doing a lot of detailed mapwork, exploring BC and much of Alaska and the Mountain States by close-up oneline topos (BC Provincial Basemap and USGS-series http://www.topozone.com Topozone] mostly).  Some Chinook authors have catalogued placenames, but a comprehensive list has never been done.  Such names range over the entire region I call the Skookum Illahee - multiple meanings all meant, but here also meaning "the country where you hear the word skookum" - the regional range of the Chinook Jargon, which spanned the Northwest from Montana and Nevada through BC to Alaska and Yukon.  And you don't always recognize them because the spelling has changed or for other reasons; Skookum Illahee also simply means "strong country".  I guess I'll do my list of Chinook Jargon placenames and only link those for which there are other pages; when I get to it.Skookum1 09:50, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

message: This may be a non sequitur for other provinces, but in BC many of these names may be of Euro-French origin or CJ-borrowings.....or adaptations into English e.g. Francois Lake (orig Lac des francais) - or from French into English such as Lac La Hache (originally Axe Lake).  Didn't know where else to post this, this seems the logical place....it would seem not needed for NB or NS, where French or French-adapted Mi'kmaq names are common;Skookum1 (talk) 04:04, 18 September 2010 (UTC)

message: Though i have no Linguistic skills to track word origins, I don't think Quilchena is a word originally from first nations people of the Nicola Valley.  the native and non-native people of the Nicola valley pronounce "Quilchena" exactly like "Cuilcheanna", Cuilcheanna i believe is of Scottish origin. People outside of the region pronounce Quilchena with a hard CH or CHu sound, with the region it is a soft CH or shh sound. There is a long history of scotish emigrants to BC.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mithrang (talk • contribs) 18:20, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
