Thanks for this excellent article.  Thanks also to the Utqiagvik people for reclaiming the original name for their own community.  Utqiagvik joins a long list of US cities with names of Native American origin, including Chicago, Topeka, Seattle, Milwaukee,Tucson, Pensacola, Omaha, Natchez, Tacoma, Biloxi, Niagra Falls, Tulsa, Waco, Potomac,  Chatanooga, Tillamook, Roanoke, Cheyenne, and hundreds (if not thousands) more. Twenty-one state names also have Native American origins, from Alabama to Massachusetts, Hawaii to Oklahoma, Wisconsin to Wyoming...and of course Alaska.  As a non-native person who lives in Sitka (from the Tlingit language), I love the saying these names. They're an important and beautiful part of our heritage. The more the better!
