I learned in John Keene's "Counternarratives" that the first non-Native inhabitant of Manhattan (Mannahatta) was Jan Rodrigues, a "mulatto born in Santo Domingo" who arrived on the Dutch ship Jonge Tobias where he worked as a translator and a trader.
He decided to stay.

I guess it’s our karma for swindling Mannahatta from Native Americans for a few beads and muskets. Now we’re selling the entire country off for swag bags of overpriced luxury-labeled trash made for pennies in a Chinese factory.

The land that the White House is on was Nacotchtank land before Europeans arrived. Let's rename DC "Nacotchtank". Change the signs.
I'd happily rename where I live Mannahatta (Lenape). We're three fourths there with the current name anyway.
Siempre Golfo de Mexicó.

Science has revealed vast changes over centuries, as in Eric Sanderson's fantastic 1609 - 2009 Mannahatta Project @thewcs.bsky.social & welikia.org But it's vital to carry things FORWARD. What will 2409 look like? The rest of my talk: revkin.substack.com/p/what-ive-l...

Have you read MANNAHATTA? It's an environmental study, an attempt to reconstruct Manhattan before European settlement. There's lots in there about streams and ponds, original shorelines and removed hills.

yep, I know. “Tappanzee” means “Sea of the Tappan” in Dutch, the Tappan were one of the original tribes of Mannahatta.
