While I endorse the name change, I feel that “blue sky” is a very suburban subdivision kind of name.

It does have significance to the indigenous communities.

"The new name holds significance because “the Arapaho were known as the Blue Sky people and the Cheyenne have an annual ceremony of renewal of life called Blue Sky,” "

Arent the Cheyenne also the ones who are pissed off because they feel the milquetoast name of their ceremony is somehow sacrosanct?
