‘Absolutely ridiculous’: B.C. parents unable to register their baby’s Indigenous name
"Smith said she has received correspondence from the province that has spelled λugʷaləs’ name wrong, suggested a made-up anglicized version, and eventually, rejected the Kwak’wala spelling."
So, λugʷaləs is Kwak'wala spelling? Wow. It has a surprising similarity to Cyrillic and English characters. No wonder the parents are mad.
