Why are there 7 Mi'kmaq branches mentioned on the map when you can count 8?
Epelwik (Epeggoitg) "lying on the water" - Prince Edward Island. This also includes Piwktuk (Pigtog) "where gaseous explosions erupt" in Pictou County, Nova Scotia
Eskikewa'kik (Esgigiag) "skin dressers territory" - Halifax and Guysborough Counties of Nova Scotia
Kespek (Gespegiag) "last land" - Gloucester, Northumberland, and Restigouche Counties of New Brunswick and Quebec's Gaspe Peninsula
Kespukwitk (Gespogoitg) "lands end" - Annapolis, Digby, Quenns, Shelburne, and Yarmouth Counties of Nova Scotia
Siknikt (Sigenitog) "drainage place" - Cumberland County, Nova Scotia along with Albert, Kent, Queens, Saint John, and Westmoreland Counties of New Brunswick
Sipekne'katik (Segepenegatig) "ground nut place" - Colchester, Hants, Lunenburg, and Kings Counties of Nova Scotia
Wunama'kik (Onamagig) "foggy land" - Cape Breton Island
The Passamaquoddy were moved off their original lands repeatedly by European settlers since the 16th century and were eventually limited...
What is the source for this? The 16th century seems very early, I don't think there was any significant European presence in the area until the 17th century.

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". —

Support per nom. An identified people should be the primary topic of a term absent something remarkable standing in the way.

You are correct - articles should not be moved without discussion and consensus. The move should be undone. I would undo the move but I'm not sure how, without losing the links. -

Reverted, along w most of the changes by the mover. The info box he added appears to be bullshit; at least, I can't make any sense out of it. —
