The magazine, in talking about what a name means behind Western place names (and going into colonialism behind that, natch) asks a Navajo for the native name of the San Francisco Peaks.
And, never asks a Hopi for THEIR name for the peaks. Nor even entertains that perhaps still today, and definitely hundreds of years ago, the Hopi likely would have seen the Navajo as colonizers.
I commented on their Facebook page, but once again, it will do nothing.
The only time HCN has responded to me was when it had a clear factual error on logistics hubs west of the Mississippi and that was to blame the Salt Lake Trib as originator of the story and saying it would make a correction if and when the SLT would. (I provided them, from my years in Dallas, the clear evidence they were wrong.)
They did and said nothing about the atrocity called a Melanin Base Camp story. They labeled it "opinion" online, something they'd basically never done up to that point in print, probably because they knew the "opinion" was based on factually incorrect information and even at least one outright lie. That was when HCN put the "woke" key in the ignition switch for good.
And, I still won't resubscribe, HCN.
