Bingo!
OTOH, here in Arizona, Napolitano wanted to impress the unwashed masses and score a pile of PC points by changing the name of Squaw Peak outside of Phoenix to Piestewa Peak after an NA woman killed in Iraq. This is probably what is driving Murkowski. Recently, I've noticed that a lot of Arizonans are going back to calling it Squaw Peak again. To us older Arizonans, it will always be Squaw Peak. It's part of our history.
Years ago I went into WWII service from Phoenix. I had one semester of engineering studies in college which included a surveying course. We did our outdoor surveying classes on acreage that was owned by the college prof. The acreage was bounded by Squaw Peak. I remember a very beautiful and magnificent land feature. I do not see good reason to rename the area after all these years.
This is not a new issue. Alaska has tried for decades to get the name changed. The Alaska Legislature voted in 1975 to change the name of the mountain.
