We should keep the name Squaw Peak instead of Piestewa Peak

Post by Trans tech »

I don't think I will ever be able to call one of my childhood favorite landmarks Piestewa Peak. I have yet to meet a Arizonan that is happy about the whole way it came about. Its to bad that we are expected to give up so much tradition just to apeeze a few sqeeky wheels. Lets take America back.

My sister is dispatch for wildland fires and sometimes they had problems naming a certain fires due to the unusual named features in the area.
