When I grew up in upstate New York, I loved all the Indian names in NY State. Onondaga, Ticonderoga, Cayuga, Seneca, Canandaigua, Adirondack, Chautauqua, Skaneateles, Taughannock, Poughkeepsie, Ashokan, and many more.
Our Social Studies classes in fifth or sixth grade had a big emphasis on the Iroquois League (later the Iroquois Confederacy and Five Nations) comprising the Mohawk, Onondaga, Oneida, Cayuga, and Seneca. Combined with all the Dutch names downstate, NYS has some of the best historical place names of any state in the country. Too bad it has such a lousy political environment.
It seems like California is way behind in emphasizing Indian culture.
I met a young Ohlone woman at the Coyote Hills Regional Park a couple months ago on a hike. She works in the interpretive center there. It was quite fascinating hearing her stories of her pure Ohlone grandparents. There aren’t many of them left.
