    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "On November 19, 2021, Deb Haaland, secretary of the interior, issued two orders that launched a watershed federal effort to confront and begin healing from the harmful legacy of derogatory place names on federal lands across the United States. Through Secretarial Order 3404, Haaland formally identified “Squaw” as a derogatory term and acted to remove the long-time slur against Native women from more than 650 geographic features nationwide (Secretary of the Interior 2021a). Secretarial Order 3405 established a mechanism to continue and expand this work by creating the Federal Advisory Committee on Reconciliation in Place Names, tasked with addressing derogatory place names more broadly and systematically and facilitating their replacement in partnership with Tribal Nations, states, local communities, and the public. The authors were appointed to the committee. Here we share some of our experiences while serving, as well as guiding visions and principles to carry the work forward after President Trump abolished the Committee in 2025.",
