Here's where to suggest new names for 50 Utah sites that use a slur for Native women.
by entering “DOI-2022-0001″ in the search bar and including the feature identification number included in the list.
Rupert Steele, chairman for the Confederated Tribes of the Goshute, said that the term has long been associated with Native American women, and, sometimes men, as sexual objects. Using it further dehumanizes them, he said, a contributing factor to the endemic violence known as“We want to get that name removed from those [geographic features], to protect our identity, and not to be used as a derogatory phrase, whenever there’s disagreement with the American Indians,” Steele said.
Tribes will have “broad engagement” with the 13-member Derogatory Geographic Names Task Force, which will review the proposals for new names, Haaland said. Tribes like the Confederated Tribes of the Goshute and nonprofits such as Ute Land Trust support renaming the features by tapping Indigenous knowledge and connections with tribes who each have names for these landmarks.
The Utes once lived in the Utah Valley, and one common explanation for the name of Sq--- Peak centers on a Ute woman jumping off the peak. But when it comes to the story around the peak, and similar explanations at other sites, Weeks said, in those instances Native people themselves likely do not know the history behind the name.
In southern Utah, the National Parks Conservation Association has identified eight uses of the slur on public lands in or near San Juan County and Bears Ears National Monument, and six uses in or near Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument, both in Garfield and Kane counties.
