The choice of name for this business is deeply offensive, to say nothing of the sexualizing and fetishizing of native women by having a white model, scantily clothed in a provocative pose, wearing a fake Indian headdress. Headdresses are earned. They signify honor that was earned. They are not fashion items, and typically not worn by women in most tribes. The name coupled with the cheap provocative clothing and demeaning portrayal of women are a gross example of culture appropriation. Please cease and desist the use of the word “Squaw” and all simulations of Indigenous/ Native clothing and ceremonial regalia, immediately.

This is racism and appropriation of an indigenous culture for personal gain.

The name you have chosen is deeply racist & demeaning to my native sisters and their families. Please educate yourself & set a better example as a human being....

This is so very wrong and disgraceful. You really need to take this opportunity to listen and learn. Take the time to do some research. It won't take much to understand how derogatory this name truly is.
