Why do these peaks have English language names? More of them should be called by their native american names. Look at hawaii for example, nearly all their place names are Hawaiian language. Cities, streets, valleys, mountains all have original names. We should honor the people who lived here first by nameing places in their language, if it doesn't already have a name in their language. Not only would it show honor and respect to those who were here first but it would make Utah very unique among western states. Thank you for reading my opinion.
