It's okay to be wrong. There's no shame in admitting you were ignorant. Continuing to use this derogatory slur as part of your branding is not only bad business but also arogant and perpetuates racism. It shows that you do not care, that you're okay with profiting of a marginalized group's culture. The slur has been proven time and time again as a word colonizers used to demean Indigenous women. Whatever it's origins were, it doesn't matter anymore. It now has negative connotations, just don't use it. Please change your name and branding, it's the least you can do.

Squ** is an offensive word against Native women. As a native, I am asking the shop owner to please change the name. You have thousands of native voices literally begging you to listen, but your own pride seems to take precedence.

Why can't people educate themselves, and find a name that doesn't insult my culture?

Using an incredibly offinsive word such as squaw all the while profiting off “native inspired knock offs” is the ipotome of hypocracy Change the name of your business and be more respectful
