utqiagvik. I don't do pronunciation symbols but oot-E-ah-vik It looks funny but pronounces fine. The thing about utqiagvik is it was and still is a native village. It is not populated with white people. You can't drive there, there isn't really much industry. The only reason you'd want to live there is you really hate people, but not so much to live completely in the wilderness or you've always lived there.
That’s… Not entirely accurate, but 60% native is very high, yes.
The rest of what you said is… Mostly accurate.
I’m sorry but Barrow is, and always will be, a better name than something that the majority of your fellow countrymen (I presume) will never be able to pronounce properly… And that will continue to be the name that the majority of people will use, whatever woke “government officials” may decide.
I’m not sure I agree with your stance on this stuff, sorry. But you do you. I suspect you’re in the minority in that state more broadly, but I guess if 60% of the population supposedly wants it to be called that, then sure, why not…
