Change Dixie National Forest (Utah) name to Paiute National Forest

The Issue

The history of this region would be much more respectfully and appropriately honored by hearkening to the original Paiute people who have lived there. A changed name to Paiute National Forest would connect the name to the ancient histories of the area. As someone myself with many settler ancestors from the area, whose associates were responsible for the current name, I urge updating/reparation by changing the name. Please join me.
