One of my Minnesota friends tells me some busybodies in Duluth want to remove the title of 'chief' from any related job in the city. Nevermind the origin of the word chief has nothing to do with Indians, or Native Americans at all. Old french (likely Latin) to describe a leader. I'd love to hear what John McWhorter has to say about all of this lately. When it comes to linguistics and really a lot of takes on society, he's a great voice/read.
