When I was still in my MSW program, we paid a visit to the Puyallup DCFS office. We learned about the shittier aspects of how social work it’s professionals have treated Indigenous peoples in the states–especially in Washington. One of the things I learned was the history of Mt Rainier’s name. Then we learned the history of its original names: including Tahoma, Tacobeh, and Pooskaus.
