The proposed name change for Calgary comes from the Nakota.
There are two additional First Nations that could argue for a name change but in their language.
Three distinct languages.

Nakota - west of Calgary on the Bow river

Tsuu T’ina - west of and adjacent to Calgary on the Elbow river

Siksiká - southwest of Calgary on the Bow river
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackfoot_language

A conundrum.
