   • 2000, Darin Mathew Howe, Oowekyala segmental phonology‎, University of British Columbia, page 1:

     The name o f the language of study is Oowekyala /ʔəwik̓ala/. The term apparently consists of the root ʔəwik- ‘back, inland’ and the suffix -k̓ala ‘speech’. The root is also found in the tribal name of the original speakers of Oowekyala: ʔəwik̓inux̌ʷ (-inux̌ʷ ‘tribe’). The latter term, which is also frequently used to designate Oowekyala, has been anglicized in the literature as Oowekeeno (name adopted here, after Hilton & Rath 1982), Oweekeno (McMillan 1999), Oweekano (name of the Band), Owikeno (name of the Lake), Wikeno, Awikenox, etc.
