Hi, can you take a look at this? The online Cree dictionary has mikisiw for eagle. — Ungoliant (falai) 17:52, 15 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Cree has a lot of dialects, and a lot of orthographies have been used for them. This is an obsolete spelling of mikisiw. - -sche (discuss) 21:40, 15 January 2016 (UTC)


 * Knisteneaux seems to be an obsolete term for the Cree, or possibly for a conflation of the Cree and Ojibwe. Chippewa is a synonym or type of Ojibwe; we treat it as Ojibwe (oj). The Ojibwe term for "eagle" is migizi. - -sche (discuss) 21:40, 19 January 2016 (UTC)


 * I found several resources that this is the original and current spelling. especial for the KNISTENEAUX tribe.

 * Your link is to Alexander MacKenzie's old book, which is no evidence of this being a current spelling. "Knisteneaux" is an obsolete French version of Cree ("Christinaux" is another French version of the same word). - -sche (discuss) 20:37, 29 January 2016 (UTC)
