====The first paragraph is confusing as to the difference between "Tsimshian" and "Tsimshianic". The Tsimshianic "lects" are spoken by 3 different ethnic groups (even though they have many resemblances in language and culture) and "ethnic Tsimshian" should be reserved for the people who actually call themselves Tsimshian - that is, the speakers of "Coast" and "Southern" Tsimshian. The Nisga'a (on the Nass River) and Gitksan (in the Upper Skeena area) do not consider themselves Tsimshian.
I did not suggest an edit, because I am not sure of exactly what group of people is included in the 750 reported speakers. Perhaps the history of this page provides more specific information?
The various pages on this group of people and languages (and others) should be consolidated to make sure that they do not contradict each other. See also my comments under "Tsimshian mythology".
I concur with the previous comment about Dunn's paper, which is being given undue prominence given its manifold factual and methodological errors.

According to an anonymous edit, "The map is backwards for the Nisga'a and Gitxsan. The boundaries are also wrong. Someone fix the map." I reverted the edit but does anyone know if this is accurate? WhatsImportantToMe ( talk) 02:38, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
