identify why american indians have proposed changes to toponyms for landmarks on oregon maps, and explain how this issue relates to the sense of place.

describe the challenges faced by those who wish to change toponyms.

The sense of place refers to an attachment to specific places based on symbolic ideas that are held by individuals or by groups. The American Indian people have a philosophical tradition that holds a rich sense of place, that is historical, cultural and spiritual, and it connects them to their traditional homelands.

Explanation:

Oregon´s maps have different places with “squaw” in their names, which is considered an offensive term, so tribes from the area have been asking for those names to be changed.

Even though the state law is on their side, and the county granted the modification of most of them, the Indian names proposed by the tribes were not accepted, claiming that to do so there has to be a consensus among the community. The greatest challenge seems to be the upset reactions from white people who think this issue has them portrayed as racist.

because the center-south is called the heart of the country
