Being Dutch as well, I'm going to guess that the name Hiawatha is taken from the Disney character of the same name, given how popular the Donald Duck comics are around here, and Hiawatha is a recurring character in them. It's orders of magnitude more likely that a person here grew up with the Donald Duck comics than that they are aware of Native American history.

So what's it called when someone appropriates a Disney character name for their own use? Should the Debian project have to worry?
