Talk:Bella Coola, British Columbia

message: I didn't put Moss in hte article because you can see he's still a redlink; his role in supplying the Chilcotin War is worth having in here, as well as his role among hte Nuxalk (which it would be good to hear a Nuxalk account of btw). Got no idea what his store was called, or wehtehr it was in competition with the HBC post or what; And re the HBC post, did it have a name as such - I know it wasn't "Fort Bella Coola" but was it "North Bentinck Post" or such?  Reason is there is a :Category:Hudson's Bay Company forts, wwhich despite its title includes (or should) "posts" as well as "forts".Skookum1 (talk) 16:12, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

message: Hagensborg has a separate article, it may be that Stuie, Firvale, Saloompt also need them, Tallheo already has one....this should probably be a region article and associated category Bella Coola Valley, the alternative is to redirect that here and make subsections for each of the sub-communities; thing is the IRs in the area and other features, rivers etc would fit in the category/region article while not in the town article (especially if this ever becomes incorporated, which it may).Skookum1 (talk) 13:12, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

message: I've added a tad about Cariboo-Chilcotin (provincial electoral district); I'll see if I can find the article I read about this gerrymander, maybe in [The Tyee I think; not sure which communities were added to Cariboo-Chilcotin (or was it Cariboo North?); the government's electoral district map for the riding doesn't show specific locations in the Bella Coola Valley.Skookum1 (talk) 06:02, 27 April 2014 (UTC)

message: FYI, AshleyMorton, seems that this mountain got its name via one Cliff Kopas.... and on another note, this entry in the Bivouac Mountain is a made-up name, like too many there (long story, I used to volunteer "there"), is there a local name for this mountain?  It's not in BC Names, and had me scratching my head until I noticed that little "geographic" tag on name status, which is the siteowner's way of saying "unofficial, but I made it up and want to pretend it's valid".....Skookum1 (talk) 17:55, 28 April 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry, dunno. What I really need to do is get my mom on here - used to run the local museum, started the Central Coast Archives. I'll ask her next time I talk to her.AshleyMorton (talk) 01:51, 29 April 2014 (UTC)

message: I saw a quick little back-and-forth between User:Muskwatch and User:Air.light about oral history, including glaciation, cave bears and other wonderful things. The paragraph as it's written is basically correct - Boas and McIlwraith do record much oral history, and some of it includes stories like that. While it is probably relevant to have more explicit sources, I can confirm the basic accuracy of the statement, and having a brief call-out of local oral history adds value, in my opinion. I'm sure it could be improved (most stuff on Wikipedia could be), but it's not really contentious that such oral history exists. AshleyMorton (talk) 14:53, 27 October 2017 (UTC)

message: What the heck is this supposed to mean ? "Bella Coola is a corruption of the word for someone from Bella Coola ..." Replace any word in the dictionary for this, it's a tautology. And redundant. And makes no sense. May as well remove it.  116.231.74.164 (talk) 03:00, 30 August 2018 (UTC)
