    For what it’s worth, this Anahuac is not named after anything to do with the local Native Americans. It’s the Nahuatl name for the Valley of Mexico. Anahuac, Texas was named by a white American serving in the Mexican army when he established a fort on the site

    I don’t doubt for a second that the current American government would do what you’re describing, but unless I’m missing something (I am not a local to the area or even American) this doesn’t seem to be erasing anything to do with the people that lived there before the USA (or Spanish colonisation, for that matter)

        Not gonna lie I only got curious because I recognised the name Anahuac from research I did for a Civ 6 mod, so I am not an expert here. And I do think that the suspicion is very justifiable given the circumstances
