This is no different than the white people changing Pohono to Bridalveil. Who are the foreigners (meaning outsiders to the area in question) to say what a local landmark should be called? Especially when it's something that's been around for eons.

As it says in the article...

"The Venezuelan President went on to say that the landmark, which is one of his country's biggest tourist attractions, had been seen by many indigenous people before Angel ever arrived on the scene."

I don't believe in his way of doing business, however, he did speak the truth here.
