Would the "Cowichan Chief" be the "grand chief" of the Cowichan Tribes band government, or a chief of one of the subgroups combined wihttn it? "Cowichan" isn't a proper indigenous name, and its cognate Quwutsun is only one of the groups. Similar issue with the Secewpemc Chief....any idea from which band, or was he a tribal-council/national level chief - "Grand Chief" also? Probably their names should be redlinked also.... Skookum1 ( talk) 14:02, 30 April 2008 (UTC) I have no idea. It's 1906 so I don't know how much of the band government there is. I believe in that sentence it means Cowichan as the whole, but I'm not sure which sub-group. Sorry dude, I just don't know. I'll see if I find references anywhere else.

and include the others as variants....
The wikilink to Moodyville goes to an article about a modern town in Tennessee, since there isn't one for the original BC settlement. I'll let someone else fix it since I'll just screw it up if I try. Bondith ( talk) 21:53, 21 January 2010 (UTC)
The sources don't say where in North Vancouver he died; both Esla7an (Mission IR No. 1) and Lions Gate Hospital are in the City of North Vancouver; but he may have died at Xwemechlsten (Capilano IR No. 5) which is in the District. How to resolve such dabs I do not know, other than guesswork; in those days there were no palliative care wards in hospitals and natives generally did not receive top-level medical care, though in his case there may have been an exception. Still, a tuberculosis asylum on the North Shore, wherever it may have been, seems likely; that is, if he did not die at home on the reserve (whichever one). Skookum1 ( talk) 09:32, 17 April 2014 (UTC)
