I know its native language but non natives have made it derogatory and demeaning towards our women.

I do not support any businesses using any slurs in their name. In an age where information is at your fingertips there is no reason this should have happened. Get educated and do better!

A name change would greatly be appreciated. Something less inflammatory and racist.

The use of the term squaw is a dated and derogatory term. Also appropriating Indigenous culture for profit is disrepectful and should npt be done.

Your business name is outrageously offensive to Indigenous people- and many of us who are not Indigenous, as well. Stop using this slur as your business name, and stop ripping off Indigenous people with your cultural appropriation boutique.

This name needs to be changed! What if someone put up a shop that had the N word in it, or something. Horrible

Squaw is slur. Saying its not is a lie. Accept what Natives say and change for the better. You don't need to steal from us to have a successful business.

The use of the name 'squaw' incites violence against indigenous women and girls. Simply change the name.

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!

Please change the name of your company. It is very racist and extremely offensive to Native American women.

This person is a disgusting animal.. she cant even be called a human being as she has refused to learn or accept that what she has done has hurt and further degraded our native brothers and sisters. While her obvious shameless behavior for buck shines through as well as her willing ignorance. It is completely irrational to let a real savage profit from real life degradation. She is complete trash in every sense of the word as well as the garbage that models gross apparel.
