    • 2021 July 8, Betsy Trumpener, “Heiltsuk woman unable to restore Indigenous surname on ID because system can't handle its spelling”, in CBC News‎[1], archived from the original on 10 December 2024:
      That's because officials say government systems can't currently incorporate the diacritic marks — the accents and symbols used to change the meaning and pronunciation of words — that Jess H̓áust̓i considers an essential part of her Indigenous surname. […] "It's particularly frustrating for me, because the reason why I have an incorrect name is because it was anglicized by Indian agents. I didn't create the problem, but I'm not getting any help to fix that," said H̓áust̓i, 34, who lives in the Heiltsuk coastal community of Bella Bella, B.C.
