Nothing about the origin and meaning of this word??
I totally agree and note that it's very important to do that, I don't have time; and it gets complicated though yes, it's largely seen now as derisive and always was. Still, you'll find in the old Handbook of American Indians, I think it is, a chapter on the "Siwash Indians", meaning the Salish of Puget Sound and others.....many BC placenames have been changed that had this, though several remain. Like Gweilo and Chinaman and others, a word with a history and it deserves a lot more than a terse disambiguation page for sure.Skookum1 (talk) 17:58, 18 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
