Ridiculous to make a profit off of a derogatory and racist name. Educate yourself.

Would you use the "N" word in your business name? Would Instagram allow this account to remain active had some idiot used the "N" word? Squaw is equally offensive to indigenous women. This is a highly offensive word. At worst, racist at best absolutely insensitive and CLUELESS. Please do some research and change the name. I mean the clothes are tacky, but that's not the point.

Squaw is a derogatory slur against Native women. If you knew Indigenous history, you 'hopefully' would not have chosen such a disrespectful business name.

“Spunky Squaw” are u out of your mind lady? What if we called our business spunky white female? Your not very smart with your choices for a business name. Go back to school.

This name is absurd. The owner thinks it is ok to have such a derogatory name against indigenous women.

The Spunky S**** is marketing stolen indigenous designs to women and profiting off of indigenous culture while silencing indigenous voices and trying to frame themselves as the victim- ALL WHILE using a *literal* racial slur used against indigenous women in the brand name. And yes, the spunky s**** can be held accountable and responsible for being so horribly ignorant (aka ignorance, “I didn’t know any better”, is not an excuse).

I'm not native american but 2 of my nieces are. This is a disgusting term and I would be wildly offended if ANYONE used it in relation to them. If your store can only sell goods by offending, maybe the product isn't that good to begin with.

Be an adult and acknowledge when you're causing harm.

Just more white people using someone's culture to make money. They have no knowledge of the traditions and culture they are appropriating, on top of that, they have no intention to learn and even go as far as using derogatory slurs to sell, further pushing racism and violence against our women. Not only should they change their name, they should shut the business down completely. I'm sure this woman has traditions of her own ancestors that she can exploit.

Please stop using Christianity to justify racism and ignorance.

The name is derogatory. Listen to Indigenous people when they say the word is offended.

Change the name. (White people don’t get to decide what’s racist.)
