Talk:Squamish Nation

message: Is the IPA just for people to understand how to pronounce, or to actualy change the spelling of the language in subject?
:IPA is the International Phonetic Alphabet, which is a theoretically "absolute" transcription of spoken sounds; not variable from language to language, as is the case with Skwxwu7mesh snichim, St'at'imcets or Halkomeylem (which all have different adaptations of the Latin alphabet - the "bastardized and colonalized" alphabet which has allowed these languages to become literate.  IPA is the standard in linguistics, and in Wiki; indigenous ortographies can be included, but the IPA is what those unfamiliar with the variables in a localized orthography will/can use to determine how something is to be pronounced.  e.g. /t'/ in St'at'imcets is a "tl" or "lh" (somewhere in between), while in Chinookan and Chinuk-wawa and some other Oregonian languages it's a plosive-t (sort of exploded or "spat").  In IPA those two sounds would have completely different characters.Skookum1 07:10, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

message: I thought I would post something here first before I start making haste-like changes.  In terms of wikipedia and an encyclopedia format, I move to use Squamish Nation as the page for the Indian Act-Band Council government.  Things treaty, business, economic development, related, and other news pertaining to the nation, not the people.  The government is still a colonial government in the traditional territories of the Skwxwu7mesh.  The Skwxwu7mesh page could then be used for culture, community, and history.   Things of the stories, culture, spirituality and religion, could then be added for that page, (also creating more articles for stories, places, language, etc).  There is a bit of a problem with the other page, but see the Talk:Skwxwu7mesh for that one.  Anyone majority object to this? OldManRivers 10:12, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: I take it you mean Skwxwu7mesh/Squamish Nation only, not all BC aboriginal articles, right? ;-)  The division as described is the point of the separate article system that evolved within the  WikiProject; eventually "across the board" when time and knowledge permits.  I checked Nuxalk, which still redirects to Nuxalk Nation, to check if you meant the whole shebang (woulda been a lotta work in two days.....); anyway your artifcles can stand  as a model or paradigm for others writing the separated articles in other areas; good work....Skookum1 (talk) 22:11, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

message: I went to the Squamish Nation's website looking for finanical information; didn't see any.
Does anyone know where I can find the Nation's audited financial statements and any value-for-money audits?

replies: text: You can't. Because they are a private "sovereign" nation, they can keep their finances secret to everyone except themselves.Error: at least one area specification must be given 03:43, 23 May 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: The Squamish Nation doesn’t release its financial audited statements publicly.  Information related to their federal funds can be obtained here though. Close to $11 million comes from government funding (housing, education, health, etc.).  But the majority is "own source revenue" from their businesses, leases, and investments.  The federal gov’t is considering a bill that put into law certain requirements of bands for financial transparency and accountability, but it’s still in committee.
