You guys aren't very original. So colonial. Should've kept indigenous names.

@teejay6063 Why would the state be named "Native American Word"? Anyway, sounds good. It's just too bad about all the colonial names.

@beeble2003 No, I'm not. My point was about the types of names chosen, not renaming any place.

@beeble2003 Why not? What's the point of giving names from your old country when you can use a local language for a name?

@beeble2003 I just think it would be nice to use indigenous names, not just boring old names of places from the old country. Besides, many groups of Europeans had alliances with certain native tribes. For example, the French were allied with the Huron and Alonquin, whereas the British were allied with the Iroquois and Cherokee. Spanish were allied with the Pueblo and Apalachee. The Dutch were allied with the Mohicans. I think you need to work on your own understanding.

@varsoo1 Right? The indigenous names are so much more interesting than the old boring repetitive colonial names from England and other places in Europe.
