* Though this name originates with white folks, it could be a white/English translation, but at least it was correctly named, eithyer way.
One of the few things worthwhile that we whites did in taking over N. America, was that we at least - for reasons still unknown to me - is that we seem to have literally TRIED to keep places named as what the Indians had named then, Look at the names of places in the SE Central, and Midwest et al., plus Canada,, and you'll see that's true.
