Correction to description of Hendrik Jakob Wikar edit

The present form of the article refers to Wikar as a "westerner". I'm changing this to European. The Online Etymology Dictionary entry for 'Western' states that the earliest reference to Europeans being called westerners dates to 1880 (see [1]). Calling Wikar a westerner is an anachronism, since he first saw the falls in the 1770s. SmallMossie (talk) 10:00, 9 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
