Unity Island : ウィキペディア英語版 | Unity Island
Unity Island is an island separating the Niagara River and the Black Rock Canal, located within the city limits of Buffalo, New York. Today, the historic island is home to two public parks and a water treatment facility. The island's original name in the Seneca language is ''Deyowenoguhdoh''. From 1679 to July, 2015, the Island was also known by the English name, Squaw Island. In June of 2015, after being petitioned by members of the Seneca Nation of New York, who considered the name to be racist and derogatory toward Native American women, the members of the Buffalo Common Council voted unanimously to change the island's name to Unity Island. The name change became official on July 6, 2015. == History ==
