I just happened to be writing an article on Nicola, a BC-side Okanagan chief whose inherited name Hwistesmetxe'qen was of Spokane origin, and discovered there was no language article to directly link to; there is no "Spokane language" article; the
on Salishan languages also redirects here. Emerging standards in the Indigenous peoples Wikiproject call for separate ethno/history, language and government/organization articles, and separate community/band articles as well. Just mentioning this and I do happen to know of a Spokane language grad student at U.Vic so given appropriate politicking (need someone as middle ground given our mutual background, y'see) I'll see if he can be recruited to do a standard Wiki-style linguistics article at some point; doesn't seem many Interior Salish languages have separate write-ups from tribal articles; there's at least some for the Coast.Skookum1 22:34, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
I wrote the major part of the Spokane(Volk)-article in the german Wikipedia. Maybe something in it is also useful in this english Wikiepedia, for example this map?:
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datei:Lebensraum_der_Spokane_Indianer.png
There are only some rights reserved, mainly it is to name the author of the map in the form he called it there, so no problem to use it here, if the creator of the map is mentioned.
Maybe better is the map in http://www.spokanetribe.com/page.php?code=reservation, but I don't know the rights.

In any case I in the english article added the Link to History and Culture, as it is presented in the Website of the Wellpinit School District, there are many further informations.

Spokan Tribe → Spokane people — User made undiscussed, unilateral move to name suggesting that this is a page for the tribal government, when it is actually an article about the Spokane ethnic group. —Uyvsdi (talk) 19:57, 21 December 2009 (UTC)Uyvsdi

Spokane people → Spokan – target is redirect to current title created by Fastifex on June 11 2006. People article was created as "Spokane (tribe)" by 216.178.56.251 on July 8 2005. Then moved from there to "Spokan tribe" by Samwb 123 then to "Spokan Tribe" by same author, then to Spokane people by Mark Shabazz on Nov 23 2009] then moved by Kwami to "Spokane tribe" on March 11 2011, then reverted by Maunus on March 12, 2011 citing "no nconsensus for move. Tribes and peoples are not necesarrily synonymous and moving requires discussion to decide what is the precise topic of this article)." "Spokan" title as standalone was created in the days of the "old consensus", which has since been ignored by those advancing pet guidelines and "anglicizing" titles without warrant per WP:Naming conventions (ethnicities and tribes).

- Oppose until the issue is addressed properly. These should be discussed at a centralized location.
- There was a discussion once on whether the ethnicity should have precedence for the name, and it was decided it shouldn't. That could be revisited. But it really should be one discussion on the principle, not thousands of separate discussions at every ethnicity in the world over whether it should be at "X", "Xs", or "X people". — kwami (talk) 12:29, 20 March 2014 (UTC)
- Support per nom. An identified people should be the primary topic of a term absent something remarkable standing in the way. bd2412 T 02:39, 22 March 2014 (UTC)
- Strong oppose. Spokane people call themselves "Spokane" not "Spokan" — official tribal website, [], another tribal business, tribal college, Indian Health Board, language program, Washington Governor's Office of Indian Affairs, Indian Country Today coverage, constitution, name of reservation, notable tribal artist, notable tribal author, etc., etc. Meanwhile "Spokan" gets the British Encyclopedia and many hits from a road in Florida. -Uyvsdi (talk) 03:59, 22 March 2014 (UTC)Uyvsdi
