The word squaw is very derogatory towards Native American women.

Names hold power. A white person using this name is an act of racial oppression against Indigenous peoples, specifically of Turtle Island. It needs to end.

Racism is unacceptable whether or not you want to admit you are racist.

Absolutely disgusting. Educating white people on cultural appropriation and white fragility should be a necessity in our schools... I'm so disappointed

The name is inappropriate and the conduct of the owner is unprofessional. Be an adult and learn from your mistakes.

It baffles me that people have tried to educate this person on why using this shop name is offensive, exploitative, cultural appropriative, and racist and she refuses to listen or even consider changing the name. Blatant disrespect and ignorance.

The owner of this company is a sorry excuse for a human being. "The English word Squaw is an ethnic and sexual slur, historically used for Indigenous North American women. Contemporary use of the term, especially by non-Natives, is considered offensive, derogatory, misogynist and racist." Nobody, should ever use this term as a way to benefit themselves, it is offensive to all real Native American like me and yes WE DO EXIST despite all attempts to wipe us off this Earth.

This simply must be changed out of respect for all Indigenous women who have been irreparably harmed by this derogatory term.

This business name is offensive to thousands and thousands of indigenous women all over the world! You should be ashamed of yourself & do better research when choosing a business name!
