The names are restored and the sacred sites are finally being honored with the dignity they deserve. We built this momentum together and proved that our history cannot be erased. Keep watching the official tribal sites to ensure these changes are fully implemented on every map.

Satiacum
The largest effort in the history of the United States of America to reconcile the holocaustic behavior and treatment of the original aboriginal Indian people by the European explorers and settlers, is being led by Robert & Elizabeth Satiacum and the 'Alliance to Restore Native Names to Sacred Sites. Countless sacred sites and place names were "changed" by the European explorers and settlers upon arrival, without ascertaining any infomation from the local Native inhabitants. Specifically, the 'Alliance' is in the process of restoring the Creator, God given name to America's largest peak, Ti'Swaq' (pronounced, Tee Swauk) ,{The Sky Wiper} a.k.a Mt.Rainier.
On May 30th, 2010 The Day of a Thousand Drums initiated the prayer for healing and reconciliation, and became a resolution to restore the native name. The resolution passed the Washington State Democrats Central Committee and then was taken to Native American lawmaker, Tulalips State Representative, John McCoy (D). House Bill 1084, the bill to re establish WA state Board of Geographic Names & Places, was signed into law on May 16th 2011, this time to include Tribal members.
Robert Ti'Swaq' Satiacum, will be representing the 'Alliance' the week of October 24th-30th, at the World Board of Geographic Names & Places Conference in Honolulu, Hawai'i. The 'Alliance' and Satiacum's are inviting you to be included in a rare opportunity to be a part of something larger than yourself, something that will last 7 Generations. I'm counting on you to sign this petition, which will be presented to the World Board of Geographic Names & Places. Be part of the solution, be a part of history.
We the undersigned, support the restoration of the Native American name, Tiswaq, to what is now currently referred to as, Mt Rainier.

Erasure of culture through the erasure of names is cultural genocide. And continuing to call these places by their colonial names continues that genocide. Restore these tribal names.
COLONIAL NAMES REPRESENT A DARK HISTORY. TIME TO BRING BACK THE TRUTH.
names have power. putting the original ones back is the right thing to do finally.
its long overdue. these places had names way before anyone else showed up and we should respect that history.
My family has lived here for generations and it always bothered me how we just renamed everything. glad to see people fighting for this.
Yes, please, let's move away from the settled nature of colonized names.
Thank you.

Native names have so much more meaning than naming things after military officers, many who have no connection to the place that is named after them.
