The Curyung Tribe invited community input Saturday on changing the name of a Dillingham stream that bears a derogatory name. The U.S. Department of the Interior public comment period on replacement names for the creek is open through April 25.
Last spring, months before the federal government began steps to change those names, three elementary students wanted to rename a Dillingham creek that uses that slur, as well as a road that bears the creek’s name.
