#TurtleIsland
Can anyone advise me about the respectful use of the name Turtle Island for North America by someone who isn't from there. I'm aware of the distress and damage caused by #CulturalAppropriation and absolutely do not want to do it. My question is, might people of the First Nations or Native American cultures object to outsiders calling their land by this name?

Thanks for your advice.

– might I suggest @Yehuda may be a suitable person to answer this one?

@DavidBridger @SJAsh_03 This is no problem, if anything most Indigenous people are appreciative of the use of original/Indigenous names over colonial names...
