Newcomerstown, Ohio

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newcomerstown,_Ohio

The name comes from a Lenape (Delaware) village established in the 1760s by Netawatwees - aka King Newcomer, or simply Newcomer - a principal chief and spiritual leader of the Delaware (c. 1686-1776).

Newcomer migrated to the area from Cuyahoga Falls with his band of Lenape Indians.

The Lenape name of the town was Gekelukpechink, meaning "still water." The town was used as a meeting place for the Iroquois Great Council, and English and American traders called it Newcomer's town.

By 1771, more than one hundred dwellings had been built. In 1776, more than seven hundred Lenape and several traders lived in the town.

Soon after the start of the American Revolutionary War, the Lenape moved west to Coshocton.

So, for the record, Joe Biden has "appropriated an indigenous native American name", a tribal name, and a town name.

Joe Biden is in violation of Democrat Tribal Law.
