“I equate knowledge of place names as an equivalent marker as monuments
and such of the Western world. In our world—that didn’t horde materialistic
items to pass down for millennia, that didn’t build shrines to memorialize
special places; that didn’t leave a footprint—it is our name that reminds us of
why a place is special.
As I travel by foot, boat, plane, four-wheeler through or over my homelands.
I repeat the names of these places as a way to remind me of the rich heritage
I come from, a way to remember my grandmother and her teachings, and a
reminder to gift this information to our future generations.

And may they continue the tradition of naming in our way as they have their
own lived experience in a place we have lived for thousands of years!”
