Name origin

[edit]

BCGNIS does not give a name origin for this archipelago, which is nowhere near haida territory. It may be derived from this being a regular camp of raiding Haida, or the Haida allies (from Cumshewa) of the Bella Bellas, who live nearby, or those who had come to trade at Fort McLoughlin. Walbran may say...if I can remember where to find the online version of his book again....Skookum1 (talk) 16:29, 15 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
