Talk:Quiggly hole

Categories?
This should have a native/First Nations category, I'm just not sure which one.Skookum1 23:14, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

Quiggly hole must be an Americanism - I have never heard it used in Canada where kekuli is the normal term. Also in the article it suggests that James Teit had not been to Statimc (Lillooet) territory - that seems unlikely to me - as he travelled extensively throughout the southern interior of BC and lived very near to Statimc territory.

Illustrations
The current photos are fine illustrations for an article on earth-houses. However, the article is on holes: the evidence of the buildings that are absent, so the photos are not illustrating the kekuli/'quiggly' holes at all. One would be great to show what the hole indicates, but the rest should go to the articles on underground houses, and there is still a need for some clear photos that indicate how a kekuli/quiggly differs from, say, the root-bowl hole of fallen trees, or other natural depressions.

Adding Interior Salish origins of the term
A syilx student in my class INLG 380 added this information that she learned in her degree program at the University of British Columbia Okanagan, where these pithouses were traditionally made. This word and it's etymology is included in Anthony Mattina's dictionary of the language. CESchreyer (talk) 04:47, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
