California Takes Action to Remove Derogatory Term from Place Names
California has announced a significant initiative to remove a racist term targeting Native American women from over 30 location names across the state. The derogatory term, often referencing Indigenous women, will be erased from places as part of a broader movement to address the use of offensive language in geographic designations. State officials are committed to renaming these sites to promote inclusivity and respect for Native communities. The changes are expected to be implemented by January 1.
