It does; but not that often; that it does at all is why there's a
"standard" way of pronouncing it in English; y'see, there's upheaval
over logging on _all_ native lands in BC, which means that there's a
good two dozen peoples whose names figure at least as often; some, like
the Haida, Nisga'a or Gitksan, much more often.
