In June 2022, Lavita Hill and Mary "Missy" Crowe, both members of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, drafted legislation for the tribe to support changing the name of Clingmans Dome to Kuwahi, the original name given to the area by the Cherokees. The Tribal Council of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians passed the legislation, during its regular session on July 14, 2022, thus lending the Tribe's support for the name change effort. The official process starts with the filing of an application for a name change through the United States Board on Geographic Names.
