Arrr! California's shiverin' timbers, tossin' out that foul word for the lassies of the land, more than 30 times!
2024-11-17
Arrr, matey! California be settin’ sail to banish the scurvy term for a lass of the land, spottin’ it in over thirty ports! The Natural Resources Agency be leadin’ the charge, savvy? Let’s raise a mug to fair words and fair seas, ye landlubbers!
In their wisdom, the Secretary of the Interior proclaimed the term as a slur, and rightly so! It be high time to acknowledge the wrongs o’ the past and grant some healing to the wounded hearts of Native communities. The officials declared this act a bold step toward settlin’ old scores and mendin’ the rifts caused by years o’ oppression.
The new names for the geographic features be under wraps for now, but fret not, mateys! They be concocted with the counsel of the Native tribes, settin’ sail for a fairer future. As Deputy Secretary Geneva Thompson declared, it be crucial to honor the differences among folk, rather than stirrin’ up old grievances. So, hoist the sails and prepare for a new dawn upon California’s shores, for change be afoot, and it be mighty fine indeed!
