Obligatory tweet about Pennsylvania: Where does the word “Pennsylvania” come from? Great question, no body who asked. You see “Sylvania” means “woodlands” (in Latin). And as PA was colonized by settlers, William Penn was deemed the best settler among other settlers

At request PA was named after him: Pennsylvania = William Penns woodlands.

Early PA settlers stole land from several Native American tribes, including: the Lenape, Susquehannock, Erie, Ohio, Shawnee, Munsee, Delaware, and Iroquois - to name a few

The entire state is named after a colonizer, while the history of Native Americans are erased. So many towns, rivers, bodies of water and places are named after Pennsylvania’s Indigenous peoples yet so little is taught

Who’s traditional lands are you on? http://Native-land.ca 

(I should have been more specific and said Lenni Lenape)
