A summary of site guidelines and policies you may find useful

• "Truth" is not the criteria for inclusion, verifiability is.
• Always cite a source for any new information. When adding this information to articles, using <ref>reference tags like this</ref>, containing the name of the source, the author, page number, publisher or web address (if applicable).
• We do not publish original thought nor original research. We're not a blog, we're not here to promote any ideology.
• Reliable sources typically include: articles from magazines or newspapers (particularly scholarly journals), or books by recognized authors (basically, books by respected publishers). Online versions of these are usually accepted, provided they're held to the same standards. User generated sources (like Wikipedia) are to be avoided. Self-published sources should be avoided except for information by and about the subject that is not self-serving (for example, citing a company's website to establish something like year of establishment).
• Articles are to be written from a neutral point of view. Wikipedia is not concerned with facts or opinions, it just summarizes reliable sources. Real scholarship actually does not say what understanding of the world is "true," but only with what there is evidence for. In the case of science, this evidence must ultimately start with physical evidence. In the case of religion, this means only reporting what has been written and not taking any stance on doctrine.

Hagwilget

""The reference to Roche De'boule' is informative. The Indian term is StegYoden and thought by Indians to be from Tsalmalkit but the ending is Dene, supporting the Carrier claim to be aboriginal and to have been present when the displaced groups arrived. A similar history explains the Haida elements on Haida Gwaii, with a migrant group arriving on Rose Spit, or Naikoon at the same date. The newcomers were far more sophisticated than the native population at the Canyon, having come out of Imperial China and Asia so and the Totem Pole and Potlatch culture was begun by these people who understood and practiced principles of Imperialism and applied those principles in expanding their influence on the whole Westcoast through Potlatching, which essentially involves sharing food.

This information is bolstered by knowing that the Carrier spoke Athabaskan which was still spoken widely in Asia circa 1233. The Imperial Families were accompanied by translators who integrated the two peoples at the Canyon, which forms a border. This model of history is well supported by Navahoe and Apache history. These specific Athabaska speakers arrived in the Southwest circa 1400 and are understood to have been sent to the extremity of the Athabaska speakers to watch for any appearance of the Mongol Horde.

Around 1774 the language network brought news of the Spanish ships. The ruling family sent a Princess to marry into the Salish at the mouth of the Fraser. This marriage resulted in Tscin, or Wilps Haaxw, the ancestral House of Kitsilano, whose title combines Kits and Wool (Spanish). The term Laax Sals ties the whole story together because Sals means Ocean or Salt, while Laax means Tribe or Group. Laax Sals is interpreted by Salish speakers to mean Fishing Platform and in Tsalmalkit as Raven or Frog Tribe.

Hagwilget is anticipated to be the ultimate site of the new Christianity that will displace the Church with the revived Potlatch. The Meek will inherit the Earth thereby.""

If this is in fact correct, this would prove to be evidence for Pre-Columbian trans-oceanic contact across the Pacific, previously unknown except for in the case of the Yupik. But as no sources whatsoever are cited, and outside of this there is no mention of the Athabaskans having anything to do with Imperial China, it lacks credibility. If you are going to make any claims, especially of this nature, sources are required. --UkrainianAmerican (talk) 04:04, 18 April 2013 (UTC)
