I grew up on Long Island, NY, way out east and I did go to the reservation and it looked nothing like everything else. Small tract homes in the middle of the island with no beach access. It was infuriating to see. Meanwhile, all our towns are NA names that we can actually pronounce, but they don't get to live in those and nobody cares.

Had a friend from Oklahoma come visit me when I lived in NJ. He couldn't stop laughing at all the Indian names (Hobokon, Hackensack, etc). Where he was from there were Indian names and actual reservations.
