The name given was erroneous n disrespectful the way that the Europeans dismissed the ORIGINAL inhabitants with no compassion no logic nor any fairness!! Their assistance from the early Pilgrims through the trappers,explorers, Lewis &Clark expedition The Woman Sahajecko was CRITICAL to the push to the Pacific!!
The butchering of the buffalo the diseases which Columbus brought n killed many is a secret weapon that few speak of!
The treaties and the destruction of their lifestyle n making them try and assimilate to be “European” as well as own slaves is the ULTIMATE insult

Columbus died still believing he landed in India.
