SUMMARY:
Date
On
November 19, 2021, Secretary of the
Interior Haaland signed S.O. 3404,
declaring ‘‘squaw’’ as a derogatory term.
In accordance with S.O. 3404, a list of
candidate geographic names to replace
those declared derogatory will be
available for Tribal Consultation
consistent with DOI policies and
procedures. A list of five candidate
replacement names for each feature was
developed by the U.S. Geological

names were derived through a search of
nearby named geographic features until
at least five nearby names were
available. The candidate replacement
name will replace the derogatory
modifier. For example, ‘‘Castle Creek’’ is
the nearest named feature to ‘‘Squaw
Mesa’’. The first candidate replacement
name for the derogatory named feature
would be ‘‘Castle Mesa’’.
The Derogatory Geographic Names
Task Force (Task Force) created by S.O.
3404 will consider all comments and
any proposed additional candidate
