I visited SGang Gwaay as part of a 9 day small boat cruise to the Haida Gwaai Islands in 2013. At no time that we were in the Haida Gwaii did we see or hear the name Ninstints being used, it was always SGang Gwaay. This included the Haida Gwaii Museum. The UNESCO World Heritage Site http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/157 uses "Sgang Gwaay (Ninstints)". The 2010 Rough Guide to Canada and 2008 Lonely Planet guide to Canada both use "Sgang Gwaay (Ninstints)". Here is a page from the British Columbia Tourism site about the Haida Gwaii Islands: http://uk.britishcolumbia.travel/haida-gwaii-queen-charlotte-islands.aspx - note the reference to "SGang Gwaay UNESCO World Heritage Site". Surely it is time to change the heading of this page to SGang Gwaay. There is also in line with this wikipedia page: /info/en/?search=Anthony_Island_%28British_Columbia%29 Chris Brackenrigg ( talk) 13:12, 14 October 2014 (UTC)
Adding another voice in favour of of changing from Ninstinst to Sgang Gwaay. It is time for Wikipedia to move beyond the above mentioned chauvinism and preclusion towards english. The obvious body for determining the appropriate name for a Haida village is the national government of the Haida Nation, the Council of the Haida Nation. ( Thechillbus ( talk) 17:15, 2 October 2017 (UTC))
In the village site section: It says that the village is located at the southern tip of the archipelago, but hasn't mentioned which archipelago it is. Also, change Queen Charlotte Islands to Haida Gwaii.
In the History section: Paragraph 1 could be tidied up/clarified. Paragraph 2 is a run on sentence. Paragraph 3 uses the term abandoned, the watchman Shailah said that the Haida don't like to use that term when talking about the villages that people migrated from because they are still watched over and the spirits there are still cared for.
