One place we lost our way was naming places on this continent "New Something". This is another England, another France, another Spain, another Sweden, we thought. We should bring the same animals and crops from there to here; peel off the surface of home and lay it over this new place, crushing what was underneath.
@evan Why not just use their names prior to European colonization?
@vuneu we should indeed. Although there aren't always matching names for the current borders. Like, nobody had a name for the area from Staten Island to the Adirondacks, west to Buffalo. There are a lot of names for the regions of New York, though.
