I’d guess 1/3 of city names in Wisconsin are American Indian derived.

Maybe not 1/3 but there are lots. I live in Ottawa, just south of Ocononowoc and 30 miles west of Milwaukee - all Indian names.

Marquette University changed its team name from “Warriors” to “Eagles” several years ago. I still don’t get that.

Not to mention Wisconsin itself. I’m from Michigan and we’ve got a few Indian named cities ourselves.
