In 2015, the Senecas also petitioned the city of Buffalo to rename an island in the Niagara River that had been known as Squaw Island since the early 19th century. "Squaw" is considered to be a crude reference to women based on an Iroquois word for female genitalia - similar to the "c-word". In July of that year, the name was officially changed to Unity Island.
