What was the original name of New York?

So asks what was the original name of New York, gives the answer New Amsterdam and the says “ manna - hatta “ Question should be what was the Dutch name for New York . Having slaughtered the indigenous peoples it now seems that they’re trying to erase the memory of them

I knew this possibly because I grew up near Amsterdam,N.Y.

My ancestor Captain Caspar Steynmets came there in 1631and was a translator with the indians.

I love this game!

There really needs to be proof readers to these answers.
