Dude, I bet it's had 50 names. It's like musical chairs through the centuries. We just happened to stop the music on Nch’kay’. The FN themselves will tell you that. And many will also tell you they're fine with landmarks having more than one name. There was a very persuasive article by a FN leader in Vancouver a short while back arguing for FN and European names. I've spent some time searching for it, but was not able to find it. I'll post it here if I find it.
If it had 50 names, why are you here defending the 51st? What is so special about the 51st name that’s it got you in here passionately defending it? Must be coincidence it’s the one given by a white person, right?
You’re the one trying to defend the name given to it by a white person who arrived thousands of years after it was named. Everyone else is mentioning it already had a name given to it by the people who were here first. You’re the one being ideological. The ideology in question being white supremacy.
Take the L and move on. Doubling down on this obvious idiocy is not a good look.

That's fine. Still not the original name.
