  Wait they can't  even give the names of the locations that are being replaced so people know which ones?
context: Five of the seven locations were included in Thursday's vote. They were renamed in consultation with tribes and local communities.
  In California, one site was renamed Loybas Hill, which was proposed by the Paskenta Band of Nomlaki Indians and means "young lady"
  Another California site was renamed Yokuts Valley, which translates to "people"
  A North Dakota site was renamed Homesteaders Gap, which was selected by the community because it was relevant to local history
  In Tennessee, a site was given the name Partridgeberry, a plant for which the community was named before
  A location in Texas was renamed Lynn Creek in honour of Isaac Lynn, a man who lived on the creek nearby
  Of the remaining two sites, one in Wyoming was removed from consideration because it is now privately owned land, while another location in Alaska was removed because it is a historical area that no longer serves an unincorporated community, the government said.
  The move comes as several private companies and sports teams in recent years have also decided to rename teams or remove terminology and imagery considered racist toward Native Americans.

  For some people a name is all they have. Names are important. 
  This is definitely a step in the right direction. >

  "I take offense to that!  Red Ni--er Mountain has been part of this town's heritage for nearly half a century and I'll be damned if I'll let them change it now! It's a term of endearment!"

  Twice this week I've heard about dogs being named slurs for black people. These were, at least, people who had enough decency to be embarrassed when called out on it, but... not enough to not call the damn dog that in the first place. >
  
  "Oklahoma" is a Choctaw word for "red people" >
  
  "Oklahoma is a Choctaw Indian word that means “red people.” It is derived from the words for people (okla) and red (humma)."
  TIL.
  Thank you!
