Name Section[edit]

I live in Canada and learn historical education, hence; I learned many native stories + legends+ facts. I wrote how he got his name but it was a folktale passed on from my aboriginal friend's family line. So please mention somewhere that it is passed down from a generation. --Storkian aka iSoroush^Talk 22:59, 22 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Pîhtokahanapiwiyin → Poundmaker – Poundmaker is vastly more known in English as "Poundmaker" than as "Pîhtokahanapiwiyin". As of today, "Poundmaker" returns about 198,000 results on google, whereas "Pîhtokahanapiwiyin" returns less than 4% as many with only 7,120 results. Google Ngram fails to find any results for "Pîhtokahanapiwiyin", which is not the case for "Poundmaker". Newspapers and other media today still primarily refer to him as Poundmaker first. The Cree Nation he founded is known as "Poundmaker Cree Nation", and use that on their official website. "Poundmaker" is also the literal translation of his name's meaning, and when he was alive, he recognized it as his name when used in English. Creeativ (talk) 10:04, 2 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support per WP:USEENGLISH, WP:COMMONNAME. The article was moved from "Pitikwahanapiwiyin" in September 2017, but Google ngrams fails to find any ngrams against that spelling, either. 94.21.238.148 (talk) 10:48, 2 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
