This opinion may not make me friends here but without me knowing the historical reasons behind the names, I say change them. Half-Breed is demeaning whether you are native american or not.

Hey, history is better when things are airbrushed clean. Maybe Cripple Creek can change its name to “mobility challenged creek”.
And why do the new names have to be Indian? Lots of decent people of all races lived there and deserved to be memorialized.

I could say “To hell with the Chippewa; they drove my Sioux ancestors off our lands”. But I won’t.
