Federal Government Renames Minnesota Lake to Manidoons Zaaga’igan Zhaawanor
WCCO.com | 9/9/22MINNEAPOLIS — The federal government recently renamed hundreds of lakes, streams, summits and other places to remove an offensive term for Indigenous women.
The new name for the lake formerly known as Squaw Lake, which is located in Pine County, is Manidoons Zaaga’igan Zhaawanor.
…
The name changes come from the Derogatory Geographic Names Task Force, which included representatives from the Department’s Bureau of Indian Affairs, Bureau of Land Management, Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement, National Park Service, Office of Diversity, Inclusion and Civil Rights, Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement, and the U.S. Geological Survey and the Department of Agriculture’s U.S. Forest Service.
Straight Line of the Day: The next name change the Feds are considering is…
Honolulu will be renamed to ComeonIwannalaya
Chief George the Second: Pocahontas (Liz Warren) once told me all we had to do was perservere and good things would happen if we voted for her but I told her I would rather walk the Trail of Tears.
… the White House Press Office to Ministry of Truth…
… the Black Hills to Hills of Color…
… the First Lady to the First Doctor, if they know what’s good for them…
… the Supreme Court Building into the George Floyd Justice Center…
…Manidoons Zaaga’igan Zhaawanorto will be replaced with Folger’s Crystals.
It’s for the best. That water tasted fishy anyways.
Wisconsin will be renamed to “The Big Cheese”
(side note)
While I don’t personally find the word “Squaw” offensive, I also don’t think we need 600 Squaw lakes, Squaw Rivers, Squaw Canyons, Squaw Peaks, and Squaw Creeks. Most of the 600 renames I saw seemed to make sense, and probably fit their respective areas better than Squaw.
