The Spunky Squaw Change Your Business Name

Please change your name. Now you know the name is offensive and derogatory. Please do the right thing and respect our people especially our women.

You may not have meant to offend, but it isn't your word to decide the definition, meaning, and legacy of. With that in mind, please respect this request to change your business name.

After finding out this “boutique” owner is aware that the name is horribly racist and offensive but refuses to change it,I definitely wanted to sign this. Disgusting privileged people.

Horrible name!

ahhhh

You could be an amazing example of respect if you changed the name of your business.

Hateful name, change it.

It’s derogatory!

This is racist.

You are an offensive person. Change your business name.

The term squaw offends the Native American women and the Native American community!

This is wrong.

Did they take a spunky squaw DNA test & found out that they are descendants of Elizabeth warren?

She should be ashamed of herself for using terminology like that and making native Americans feel uncomfortable!!!

Get rid of this disgusting, derogatory name now! And stop using headdresses to sell your business. Headdresses are earned only by those who have the right to do so one feather at a time. This is blatant cultural exploitation and theft of Intellectual Cultural Property Rights.

I was born on the Blackfeet Reservation, but have ancestry through Pembina Chippewa. I am a professional dancer and teacher. At 76 years of age, I find the use of the word "squaw" to be totally derogatory and a throwback to even more racist times when my own mother was denied housing because of her native blood. Girl, get educated, get real, change that name and apologize for your behavior!

Signed

They are illegally selling "authentic" Native jewelry as well.

Using a slur in your business name is awful and unacceptable.

Really!!? You should know better. Change your name/brand please!!!
