Origin Notes and History:
|
"Bisqox" is a Tŝilhqot’in name meaning 'obsidian creek' - the two words "bis" (obsidian) and "yeqox" (river) merged over countless generations of usage into a single proper name. The name Beece Creek is an anglicisation of the Tŝilhqot’in name Bisqox (advice from Tŝilhqot’in National Government, 2023). Source: included with note |
