Clingmans Dome (East TN) has been officially renamed its original Cherokee name, Kuwohi (koo-woh-hee) meaning "mulberry place" and I think that's wonderful. I want to see more!!

Finally, some delicious fucking news
#gsmnp#great smoky mountains#great smoky mountains national park#tennessee#north carolina#clingmans dome#cherokee#native american#indigenous american#tbh clingmans dome is such an ugly ass name#y'all cannot believe the level of seethe going on in the Instagram comments section for this one#it's like 700 old people being so racist you're ashamed for them but they don't notice they're being cringe#like. the best you can argue against it is the Cherokee didn't live in that labd first. that's it.#and even that is weak because I'm pretty sure the eastern band of the Cherokee nation was here longest#if you want to try arguing that we can't use old names for places bc what if someone had a name for it before that...#...then we suddenly do not have names for anything! congrats!#anyway. I'm happy to see the park doing something good for once.#if you read into the history of gsmnp it's one misstep after another#those in charge probably meant well. but so much needless destruction happened to create my favorite park#anything done to bandaid that harm is a step in the right direction
