   @legalquilts @kgehred For example, in a first use I might say "Kenienké:haka (Mohawks)" since most people will be familiar with "Mohawks" rather than the preferred ethnonym Kenienké:haka.

     @historianess @kgehred with ethnonyms, how does one handle that? I grew up with Chippewa but apparently Ojibwe is the Indigenous name. Go with the Indigenous spelling?

     @kgehred I've been going with Indigenous or Native, and with specific ethnonyms when I can, as "Indian" seems to be getting increasing pushback. This seems to work!

     Question for #histodons! I’m fairly comfortable with updating outdated language regarding slavery, I’m not nearly so confident with language regarding #Indigenous people. Does anyone have any good book or resource recommendations? Particularly about Virginia Indians?
