Really? This doesn't set any precedent that wasn't already set 60 years ago. The USGS did something almost identical in 1962, when names like "n Bill Canyon" and "n Head Mountain" were deemed no longer acceptable and were changed. Frankly I can't imagine why someone would object to renaming a creek or hill that has an actual racial slur in it. This isn't the San Francisco School Board trying to rename Lincoln High School or Paul Revere Elementary. It seems like common sense.
Agreed. And after all we've done to the Native Americans and all we've taken from them (leaving them confined and impoverished on a handful of tiny reservations), this little gesture really is the very, very least we can do.
