(KNZA)--A name change is being sought for a stream located near White Cloud in Doniphan County.
The Doniphan County Commission Monday made no objection to a proposal to change the name of the stream from Squaw Creek to its original name of Nolands Creek as indicated on an 1856 map of the area.
The Tribal Historic Preservation Officer of the Iowa Tribe of Kansas and Nebraska submitted the proposed name change to the U.S. Board on Geographic Names, stating the current name of Squaw Creek is considered derogatory by tribal members.
