  1. Very specific ask:

    Anyone with knowledge of Indigenous bird names, specifically in Treaty 7 in so-called Alberta?

    Swainson’s hawks in particular, all birds more broadly.

    There's a movement to rename animal species from their "discoverer's" name to more practical/familiar names. Example: Swainson's hawks AKA Grasshopper hawks.

    I'd like to use Indigenous bird names (like we do for cities, "Mohkinsstis").
