content issues there are emerging guidelines within the indigenous peoples wikiproject that i have begun to apply across the board for bc first nations the main one is that there are different types of articles even when their content and location people may seem to overlap i'll sign each section paragraph so comments on specific points can be made easily ethno culture articles not as loose as it sounds despite having to describe it like this ethno history culture peoples which this article as titled would fit into these articles get category first nations in british columbia with first nation here meant in an ethnic sense not in a governmental org one ideally these will always be simply named without nation appended as with secwepemc and nuu chah nulth or st l variable forms like nuu chah nulth aht can be redirects although that term can include the pacheedaht which normally wouldn't want to be called nuu chah nulth government articles bands first nations tribal councils treaty groups which have government related content ranging from chiefs and councillors affiliations treaty issues modern demographics economic and social issues and so on these articles get category first nations governments in british columbia in the case of the st l the main government article is going to be created in a few minutes st l nation and will list all its subgovernments indian band and first nation sometimes just nation are all interchangeable although some bands seem to have a preference at different times given by variable content on various website sources whatever is picked non indian act based governments can be and should described under different titles either in the ethno type or in the history type see below language articles 'nuff said but can be titled either in native language st'at'imcets or in the form shuswap language wiki guidelines it should be stressed prefer the latter use english which is the language of the encyclopedia some ethno and gov articles will have more than one language listed in their cats some languages span more than one gov group or in the case of the sto lo and chehalis two different ones cats for this are specialized in the linguistics hierarchy examples later but they should generally all take the relevant nation category if there is one category secwepemc category st l category syilx etc community reserve articles communities reserves irs towns that have significant native presence also there is a difference note between the physical object of a reserve and the band government that runs it the descrption of the reserve is here that of the government even though this will not just overlap with the government articles but also the ethno peoples ones just interlink everything and it will sort of make sense it's just a question of what was being searched for the scw'exmx and spaxomin bands are all listed under nicola tribal association for instance but the latter article is about the association not about the communities similarly shackan and nooaitch are communities as well as reserves but articles about them should focus on the community's particular history not on overall scw'exmx culture in the case of the sto lo there is another issue of where to fit the chehalis as they are in the same cultural language area but they are not sto lo by organization or by their own appellation or the tsleil wau tuth who are culturally skxwxu mesh but are part of the sto lo nation or were last time i looked so there's some confusing bits here and there mythology articles user oldmanrivers has pointed out the mythology articles and the cats that go with them awkward wording titling but in the absence of anything more workable that's all there is for now history biography articles there is another sort of category for specific history articles e g chilcotin war fraser canyon war and various bio articles simon gunanoot slumach klattasine etc where category first nations history would be appropriate as well as either category first nations leaders or category first nations persons there's also different cats like category conflicts in canada which may apply or category wars involving indigenous peopels in north america which was specifically titled to allow inter native wars as well as wars between native peoples and non natives and without the native american wording that that category at one time had
