I really wish we could actually "rename" places as their original indigenous names across all America(~~s~~). For example my country had an internal turmoil just to keep the original name of its capital city because we love our native people, and yet we keep the incredibly stupid name of "Land of Colon" (imho most probably the most stupid name of any country, ever) because fuck our native people.

I like that we call it Denali nowadays instead of Mount McKinley. I'm all for this.

Now if I could just get South Dakota to issue me a new license plate without those faces carved into the mountain...
