The Smoky Mountains' highest peak is reverting to the Cherokee name Kuwohi
The highest peak at Great Smoky Mountains National Park is officially reverting to its Cherokee name more than 150 years after a surveyor named it for a Confederate general.
This is a good change, but it would be better if the land was returned to the Cherokee
I remember when Minneapolis/Hennepin County/Minnesota.... whoever it was...decided to change the name of Lake Calhoun back to Bde Maka Ska and laughing at angry white people after I pointed out that Calhoun was an asshole, and just watching them look at each other like idiots.
(among other things, Calhoun was a proponent of slavery, and was very much a racist shitbag. Including towards native Americans.)
Neat.
