I love native names for places, and so much of our country retains Native words as geographical identifiers, like Massachusetts, Delaware, Alabama, Arkansas, Kansas, Iowa, Ohio, Texas, Mississippi, Missouri, Minnesota, Michigan, Chicago, Tallahassee, Nebraska, Utah, and on and on and on.

Native names speak of the place in relationship to something else: "sky blue waters;" "the great one;" "where snowy owls hunted;" etc.  Chicago (Chicagoua) is the name of an onion-like plant that grew there in abundance.   White people name everything after white MEN.    It's part of the patriarchal, misogynistic, humanistic, exploitive, plundering, ominicidal  and delusional qualities of the culture, a culture where white men take anything they want, and everything is about and all power is conveyed on white men.   They really do believe they were created in "God's image," and they are qualified to be God on earth.   It's crazy.
