The leader of the Seneca Nation in upstate New York is criticizing President Donald Trump’s decision to rename Lake Ontario as “Lake America,” saying it violates a more than 225-year-old treaty and shows a “blatant disrespect” for the Indigenous people who gave it its name in the first place. In a statement Friday, Seneca Nation President J. Conrad Seneca called for Trump’s executive order to be rescinded. He says the Lake Ontario name should remain as a reflection of the Indigenous people in the U.S. and Canada who lived in territory around and along the lake long before the creation of either nation. Trump this week signed an order directing the Interior Department to update the lake’s name as part of his escalating trade war with Canada.
