Rename?

Should this article now be at shíshálh Nation, as in the text? That term is currently a redirect to shíshálh. I am not knowledgeable in this field, just saw this page again and wondered (I was alerted to a link from Sechelt to the tems swiya Museum page I'd created a while back, and noticed a lot of piped links on that page, so wondered.)

Or should the two pages be merged, or at least more clearly linked to each other?

I won't be joining in the discussion, as a total outsider to a sensitive area.

Hi Pam. I'm a little new to editing wikipedia, but here's what I can tell you.

"Sechelt Indian Band" continues under the name "shíshálh Nation" as per an Act of Parliament in 2022 (see shishalh Nation Self Government Act). "shíshálh Nation" refers to the government of the shíshálh People. It kinda makes sense to me to potentially combine the two pages pages into the current singular Shíshálh (culture) page, with a subheader covering governance that addresses what's currently here: Sechelt Indian Band - Wikipedia.

Additionally, there's the Sechelt Indian Government District, which is the municipality of former reserve lands administered by the shishalh Nation. Skwayu93 (talk) 23:39, 5 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
