Talk:Tillamook people

Don't Understand...
The article states: "The last speaker of Tillamook died in 1970, rendering the language extinct."

Then it goes on "However, between 1965 and 1972, in an effort to prevent the language being destroyed, a group of researchers from the University of Hawaii interviewed the few remaining Tillamook and created a 120-page dictionary."

If the last speaker of Tillamook DIED in 1970, then which of the few remaining Tillamook were interviewed in 1971 and 1972? 69.116.235.248 (talk) 23:58, 11 December 2010 (UTC)
 * They mean last fluent speaker. Plenty of folks know some words and phrases in their language but can't fluently speak it. -Uyvsdi (talk) 01:19, 12 December 2010 (UTC)Uyvsdi

Rename
Could this article be renamed Tillamook people in keeping with the names of other tribes? -Uyvsdi (talk) 01:19, 12 December 2010 (UTC)Uyvsdi
 * Is that consensus at WikiProject Indigenous peoples of North America? If so, go for it, but I'd like to see all the Category:Native American tribes in Oregon named consistently one way or another. But do they prefer to be called the Nehalem people? Valfontis (talk) 01:25, 12 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Nehalem people would be fine. With ethnic groups, the trend is towards "people," but "tribe" is fine. The parentheses are unnecessary. Typically federally recognized tribes use the official name of that tribe (or if need be the reservation they live on), but this is an ethnic article. -Uyvsdi (talk) 18:52, 12 December 2010 (UTC)Uyvsdi
 * Gotcha--it was the parenthesis part I was unclear on. Most of the Oregon tribes are confederated, so there's not likely to be much confusion except for maybe between Klamath people/Klamath Tribes. I'm wiling to do the page move, but feel free to. The article will need a bit of a rewrite. Valfontis (talk) 23:23, 12 December 2010 (UTC)
 * An editor is moving all the tribe in Washington to "x tribe" so I'll move this to Nehalem tribe to be in sync with them. -Uyvsdi (talk) 09:04, 13 December 2010 (UTC)Uyvsdi
 * Wait, I thought "people" was the preferred term, as we discussed above? It's the term I prefer, but on Wikipedia barring a specific guideline, I go for whatever is most consistent across a category. What does the WikiProject say? Most of the ones in Category:Native American tribes in Oregon that were at "(tribe)", and many have been moved by User:Kwamikagami to "people". All of the Oregon tribes should be done the same way. By the way, you don't need to type your name after the ~ . Valfontis (talk) 15:56, 13 December 2010 (UTC)

I'd like to keep it here thanks

I am working on an update to this page covering marital relations, child rearing, and gender distinctions. It will be going under the culture subgroup.Txbeaver (talk) 02:36, 25 June 2019 (UTC)Txbeaver
