Untitled[edit]

I have created a page on the Spirit of Haida Gwaii, and wiki-d in a link on this article. Escheffel 5 July:09 (UTC) ' "When the law in Canada changed, he was quick to apply for recognition as a Haida." I really don't understand what this sentence means. Are canadians distinguished in ethnies? Muriel Gottrop

I think that at one point (1985?), the Canadian government changed the rules regarding native status and band membership with respect to eligibility for government programs and benefits. However, http://www.civilization.ca/aborig/reid/reid07e.html says "even though he was not himself an Indian in terms of his legal status nor of his social upbringing". --Big_Iron 01:17, 31 May 2004 (UTC)


There are so many Wiki-links in this article (words in blue) that it makes the article difficult to read. I would thin them out, if no one objects. Kwork 14:09, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

Thank you, Kwork. I personally think the links on mythology, red cedar, and bronze could also go, and the second link on "Haida". Does anyone see a good reason to keep these? Wanderer57 20:51, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

First sentence of article: William (Bill) Ronald Reid (January 12, 1920 – March 13, 1998) was a Canadian jeweler, sculptor and artist.

This sentence implies that a sculptor is not an artist.

Reid was also a printmaker, so it could say "a Canadian jeweler, sculptor and printmaker". But that probably doesn't cover his work either.  ??? Wanderer57 13:26, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
