"Anda pergi ke kota-kota di Massachusetts, Greenfield, pertama kali menetap pada tahun 1686. Bukankah lebih keren jika dikatakan, “Greenfield. Pertama kali diselesaikan c. 13.000 BP atau sekitar 13.000 Sebelum Hadir. Dimukimkan kembali. "Mungkin kita dapat mengatakan bahkan," Dimukimkan kembali oleh orang kulit putih, "Atau," Tetap menetap, 1686. "Itu akan memiliki dampak yang berbeda. Dan tentu saja itu akan membantu menjelaskan mengapa kota itu disebut Greenfield, karena itu adalah ladang hijau dan ladang itu ditinggalkan oleh penduduk asli yang sudah bertani."

Versi Bahasa Inggris

You go to towns in Massachusetts, Greenfield, first settled in 1686. Wouldn’t it be cool if it said, “Greenfield. First settled c. 13,000 B.P. or approximately 13,000 Before the Present. Resettled.” Maybe we could say even, “Resettled by whites,” Or, “Resettled anyway, 1686.” It would have a different impact. And of course it would help explain why the town is called Greenfield, because it was a green field and the fields were left by Native people who had already been farming them.
