caconyms - bad words - abound in american descriptions of Turtle Island culture.
like "archaeological park" for an indigenous site.
Indians are from India. indigenous peoples of Turtle Island are not indians.
time to stop repeating old european mistaken geografy & wrongful cultural misappropriation.
- so what if it's anchored in modern english language? i bet you can easily name 5 words in english that no longer mean the same thing they did 30 years ago, and words you can't even say today because - amazingly - people, like language, can purposefully change. we don't have to keep repeating The Master's words.
'Americans' are colonists & settlers, predominantly from Europe. the name came from a european - Amérigo Vespucci - an italian-spanish traveler, merchant & mapmaker.
indigenous people of Turtle Island were not 'americans' in 1400 and were not 'americans' in 1900.
time to decolonize english's linguistic mistakes.
