Haudenosaunee
BTW I support the change to Haudenosaunee, but edits like these are hard sells, since the overwhelming volume of writing about Indigenous peoples is by non-involved non-Native people (newspapers, books, articles, etc.) and legacy names linger. So it might take time, but is still worth pursuing, so many journalists go straight to Wikipedia for their intel. Yuchitown (talk) 16:38, 20 November 2022 (UTC)Yuchitown


 * I agree, and thank you for your guidance!
 * I know that, at least here in Canada, there is a strong interest from media to reconcile the colonial past, so I hope changes like these will become easier in time. I'm also hoping I laid out a strong enough argument for changing the name, but we will see!
 * There's still more that can be done on this site (Beaver Wars to Mourning Wars for example), but hopefully this title change is a start to something new. OddlyOaktree (talk) 17:00, 20 November 2022 (UTC)

Off-wiki canvassing
It appears that you are engaged in off-wiki canvassing by requesting people join the RfC you began on Talk:Iroquois in order to sway the discussion in your favor. I am warning you that such behavior may result in a block. — Nythar  (💬-🎃) 02:16, 22 November 2022 (UTC)
