If naming sports teams after Indians is bad, then why is it good to name thousands of town and geographic places after Indians? Here are some of the great Indian names in New York State alone...
Cayuga
Seneca
Onondaga
Erie
Mohawk
Mohican
Mohegan
Montauk
Delaware
Oneida
Tonawanda
Tuscarora
Saratoga
Schoharie
Oriskany
Canandaigua
Growing up in upstate New York, I was always fascinated by these great names and the people who lived there before whites came. Later I became a huge fan of James Fenimore Cooper and his “Leatherstocking Tales.” Are we going to erase all these great names from history, too?
Nyack, Ramapo, Mahwah, Tappan, part of my old stomping grounds. And Killing Fields Cuomo naming the new Tappan Zee Bridge after his equally corrupt father. Leave it to a liberal to try to remove a vestige of local Native heritage.
