@MSNnews & @CNN report Mountain's Name-Change in #Yellowstone, reminding me of Yellowstone's Problem this Summer | @Bing

The name-change is discussed in a CNN-report you can access (where Microsoft shares it) through 'the emboldened link(s)' below; but first I want to teach you about those words. And I find you understand words better if you see 'the words at their base' (then going on to look at the words at those words' bases, then the words at those words' bases, etc.-etc. ad infinitum into their Foundation)

“Yellowstone” is named after a river that runs through it---a name told to French-Canadian trappers by the #Minnetaree Indians there, a name they took from the Yellow Sandstones along the Riverbank ... several-hundred miles downstream (& -outside of the park). Minnetaree (a member of the Hidatsa-speaking Atsina (a.k.a. Arapaho, Blackfoot)) is a name built on ancient words that mean "Crosses the Water."

It was renamed "First Peoples Mountain" in honor of its #FirstPeoples - the Natives actually massacred by force under its first 'eponym' (I was gonna say 'namesake,' but its actually the mountain that's the "namesake"---named after its "eponym" ... I was going to add that word to this entry, when I saw I'd already done an entry on that very definition!)

The mountain's first eponym--the leader of an attack now-known as the #MariasMassacre (in which a plague-ridden tribe of #PieganBlackfeet were massacred)--was U.S. Army-captain Gustavus #Doane 
The name “Doane” is built on ancient words that mean "Descendant of #Dubhan (Dubhán, built on ancient words that mean 'Little Black one') or -of #Damhain (Damhán, built on ancient words that mean 'Fawn, Little Stag')."

This reminds me of Yellowstone's problem this Summer (starting now in the late Spring of 2022, but I hear it could last anywhere from 'all Summer' to 'years-and-years')--which I first heard from THE NATIONAL DESK (or was it ANDERSON COOPER 360? THE RACHEL MADDOW SHOW? when you watch as much news-commentary as I do, it all blends together ... )---how it has become #Inundated with floods (due to #GlobalWarming? #RisingSeaLevel?)
The word “Inundated” is built on ancient words that mean "to Overflow, Run Over (Water, Wet)/"
