The lack of knowledge of the owner is pathetic. The use of such a derogatory term as squaw is purely white supremacy and racist. Lack of knowledge is no excuse for lack of research. Change the name and don't steal cultural images.

Please change your store's name. The term "squaw" is a very derogatory term for indigenous American women; a mountain in my city was even renamed from "Squaw Peak" to "Piestewa Peak" because of this. Please show respect for native women and stop using this slur.

All I can say is “ignorance is bliss” to the owner.

Please stop using a racial slur as a business name. It’s offensive and just wrong.

Women of color are more important than the name of your business.

Spunky squaw is offensive and you ladies need to figure out why. No needs to take time out of their day to educate your racist asses.

From one white dude to a white woman--maybe you should read a few history books and find out what the word means. Maybe read "The Long Death" by Ralph Andrist. It's a racial and gender slur.

Your 1A rights don’t mean you should insult and degrade others.

Whether she is lying to herself, or to everyone else, this type of total disregard for the emotional and cultural baggage words like this carry is nothing but raw, inarguable racism. The name needs to be changed.

I think the name is not only offensive but so is the shops consistent portrayal of native culture regalia displayed disrespectfully! If you shop here you suck!

Squaw is a degrading name used against us Indigenous women! If this woman had any compassion at all or a sense of sisterhood among women period then she would change the name of her business.
