Going over a local map, I can see lots of them:
Utah
Uintah
Oqquirrh
Tooele
Wasatch
Navajo
Kaparowits
Kaibab
Hovenweep
Manti
Sevier

Washington state has some really interesting ones, like:
Puyallup
Toppenish
Seattle
Tacoma
Snoqualmie
Snohomish
Sammamish
Issaquah
Hoquiam
Sequim
Wenatchee

I'm sure any of you living in North, Central, or South America can
find many, many more very quickly.  All the names that existed BEFORE
the europeans showed up and started mucking things up :-).
