I have no problem with your store itself, but the choice to use a racial slur in the name and then not simply apologize and change it when confronted with this fact, is horrifying. Imagine if it were the n-word, because to the Indigenous people of North America who continue to suffer a cultural genocide, it is the same. Please do some research, admit your mistakes, and learn.

It is honorable to do the right thing and change the business name, especially after the requests you have received.

Squaw refers to Native women who were taken (stolen) out of the Native communities and forced to preform sexual acts on colonial men. That's what these men would call them when they were done with them.
She should change the name to Spunky Honky. No, whites should get offended by that.
To celebrate we should chant the new name Spunky Honky. SPUNKY HONKY! SPUNKY HONKY! SPUNKY HONKY!
That would be about the same as what she is doing now right, so by her terms that would be okay.

Why would you want a business name that translates to a word equivalent to an ugly way to say vagina?

This is an inappropriate name for a company. Perhaps the owner did not recognize this problem but as they become aware I hope they’ll make this change
