#LakeOntario " #LakeAmerica" #Trump bullshit is an insult to #NativeAmerican peoples
Says me?
Says #JCSeneca, president of the #Seneca Nation, of the #Haudenosaunee ( #Iroquois) Confederacy
A blistering good read:
https://sninews.org/2026/08/28/seneca-nation-president-addresses-president-trumps-call-to-rename-lake-ontario/
"We will always call Lake Ontario by the name derived from the language of our ancestors – the name that, like the strength and influence of the Seneca people, will live on forever, long after the intrusive political tirades of individual men"

@benroyce@mastodon.social The US is covered with named places originating from Native American origins…and despite the centuries of settlement conflicts, I’ll hazard to say most Americans like and appreciate those names. On the other hand, there’s the insecure, narcissist, little psycho bully, who we continue to allow to rampage, shrilly shrieking and flinging his poo. 🔥🧟♂️🤬

@benroyce@mastodon.social Mr. Seneca had better pipe down, before the Don finds out he said something not so nice about him and send him to where he came from 🤪
