It might be officially renamed, but it will still be called Mount Doane.
Here in Phoenix, Squaw Peak has been officially renamed to "Piestewa Peak". No one can pronounce it, let alone call it that. Numerous businesses don't go along.

I think you mean “cede” not “seed”-Canada didn’t plant seeds-they gave land over-and it has already happened here-a long time ago-it is called “the rez” in the vernacular...
How about Brokeback Mountain?
He was just a First lieutenant.
And Canadian names.
Well, we have Iroquois County in Illinois. I remember reading LaSalle’s account of approaching an Illini village. A lot of the people appeared to be standing but were not moving. When they got to the village, LaSalle’s party found that all of the people had been massacred and mutilated and those who appeared to be standing had been tied to posts and burned. It was the work of the Iroquois, so Illinois might want to consider re-naming that county.
One of many, many incidents of Indians slaughtering each other.
Sounds something a 2rd grade class would come up with.
Don’t forget the lucrative Native American slave trade or the misogynist Native American activities.
Yep. Enslavement of other natives and of blacks.
Spell check you know
Of course “First Peoples” is also a blatant lie.
They were people on North America long before the “First Peoples”—and what about the Neanderthals—how dare they not name monuments after them?
Great series.
What if the natives deserved a good massacre?
Even better !
Exactly. I grew up in Ithaca, NY and we learned a lot about the Iroquois Confederacy of tribes. It wasn’t until much later Iearned about the brutality and slaughter.
First Peoples Mountain is unimaginative. Why now Ward Churchill Mountain or Liz Warren Mountain?
