The government can rename it all it wants but it will always be squaw peak

It won't be, though. In 50 years people will be shocked it was ever called that.

Can you pronounce the new name for us?

Pronounced "Kive" (rhymes with dive)

Words change over time. The word guy used to be extremely offensive in england

Depends on who you talk to. Don't be surprised if there isn't a consensus among various groups even among those who are

So brave. So wrong.

Surprised that this flies on CB considering OU's link

That definition is the modern one

The Utes are not Algonquin speakers.

OrsoNero

It's a better name all the way around. It's ok to embrace change sometimes

runnincoug

Sep 26, 12:23pm

That's true, and a lot of N-word place names have been removed already.

OrsoNero

Watched Stadium on Fire (not sure if it was named that) in '96 looking down off

Blue Ridge

Obviously, most people using those original names aren't meaning any

The comment above about middle-aged white women made me think if we were to rename this creek in Idaho it should be

It was named following the genocide of the Timpanogos tribe.

It'd be kind of like naming something "Nits Field" after Haun's Mill Massacre

When does changing historical names equal erasing or recreating history? Would an uncomfortable name remain a constant

DJROSS

Sep 26, 3:31pm

Names have always been changed. Always. I don't think it is a huge concern for legitimately offensive names.

Baron

Sep 26, 3:37pm

Consequences can be greater than we understand given that the full impact isn't felt until name generations later.

DJROSS

Sep 26, 3:44pm

So We should go back to the name before Squaw peak? Again, names change all the time and you overstating your

Baron

Sep 26, 3:47pm

You're assuming I'm arguing against the name change. You've taken a position on this issue. I'm observing not engaging.

DJROSS

Sep 26, 3:50pm

Lol... what big impact are future generations going to have by not calling it

runnincoug

Sep 26, 4:31pm

They probably chose the worst possible name for getting people to accept

In a state with Tooele and Hurricane, I'm sure people will figure it out.

OrsoNero

Sep 26, 12:41pm

Wish they'd changed the name to Heisman Hill or something connected to Provo.

Sep 26, 12:41pm

We slaughtered the Timp tribe here. I don't think we should erase the natives

runnincoug

Sep 26, 12:45pm

I didn’t. Did you?

2ndTrombone

Thank God I wasn't here at the time. But I'm here now, and happy to honor NAs

Has a nice ring to it

This was a useful discussion and based on some of the points made

AF Cougar

It'll always be Squaw Peak to me. The name-change mafia is so lame.
