The Biden administration’s Department of the Interior on Thursday announced the replacement names for nearly 650 geographical features that had names deemed “racist and derogatory.”
The Board on Geographic Names voted on the final names to replace the names of landmarks on federal lands that feature the term “squaw,” the department said in a news release.
The removal of the term, which the department says has “historically been used as an offensive ethnic, racial and sexist slur, particularly for Indigenous women,” is part of an ongoing effort to review and replace derogatory names from federal usage.

Screws up all the old maps, deeds, old legal records and history books...absolutely stupid.
Stupid....While Squaw was used in a derogatory fashion at times...in reality it was simply a female Indian.
Historically, there is no word/name more racist than “democrat”.
Southern democrat. KKK democrat. Klan Bake NYC democrat. Jim Crow democrat. Poll tax democrat. Margaret Sanger democrat.
We need to change the names of most of our states - Penn was a racist colonialist, Maryland named for another white racist, Massachusetts is cultural appropriation, etc. etc.
These malcontents are acting like Muslims.
Move in, destroy all statues, written history, churches, names, culture.
But I guess
Muslims
and National Socialists ( nazis)
go hand in hand from way back.
They are beserkers.
I thought at first this was Babylon Bee!!!
Whitewash, or rather colorwash, history.
Not just stupid...evil
Like when a housing development absorbs land with historic road and street names that have historical meaning and changes them all to Elm Street . I hate it.
It’s nice that the government has everything else squared away so it can spend time and effort on this. And, as I saw in a another thread, its advancing the LGBTQetc agenda as a major plank of foreign policy. The world is full of peace and order outside of that issue.
That is how Communists treat tings when they take power. It is the assertion that all history begins with the Communists/Moslems/etc.
It seems like a purge of non-whiteness. I get it, I really do.
Lake Michigan is Gitchigume I don’t care what anybody says....
Some weeks back, Biden’s Interior Secretary was being investigated for completing her financial disclosure form, saying she had no assets.
They have time for this but won’t lift a finger for border security. Anything to divide Americans. Agitprop.
The new President in 2024 is going to face a hell of a task in purging the various administrative bureaus of all of the “woke” idiots that have taken them over and push this BS onto the Country!
I wonder how much these retards where paid to come up with this list. Some Federal morons are hired although there isn’t anything productive for them to so. This name search is so childish.
Couldn’t navigate Yakima Firing Center without Squaw Tit
