An apology means nothing if nothing changes. Her apology on Instagram was just laughable. Also, just because nobody raised the point that her business’ name was racist before (WHEN IT WAS SMALL) does not mean it wasn’t! Now it’s a little more popular and she is getting interest from different demographics and groups, so obviously it makes sense that the racism is NOW being called out. Doesn’t mean it was okay before. Do something with the knowledge and awareness.

My culture is NOT a trend, a style, or a costume. This is highly disrespectful as “squaw” as a business name. It is a absolute RACIAL SLUR that cannot be used as a name!!!

Those associated with @thespunkysquaw - including past & potential customers - need to reconsider the negative impact the company name has on Indigenous peoples. They are teaching you why it's wrong. Why aren't you listening?

I find this name very offensive for a clothing line. Little papoose? I feel that is really crossing the line.

I am sure you have been told how deaming to Native American Women your store name is, and how the women have endured rape, torture, abuse, forced prostitution and genocide and still do. So, why not be a women of empathy and compassion.
Shameful!
Terribly disrespectful!!!
