Be aware that there are many derogatory words in the dictionary that we still do not use commercially. Educate yourself on these meanings and open your mind to working with Indigenous people instead of against them.

Like I stated on my email to you at you web address. It's awful hateful name in which to do business. It perpetuates negative stereotype and violence against Native Woman who are murdered and missing in record number. Seriously encouraging you to do the research, Think! And change your store name.

I urge you to change the name of your business. It is extremely racist, derogatory, ignorant, and terribly disrespectful to Indigenous women! NEVER EVER USE THIS WORD!

Just because your racism isn’t “intentional” doesn’t mean it’s not racism. Words such as this have harmful and lasting effects on Indigenous Women.

This name highlights the business owner's ignorance of Indigenous histories and cultures. It's racist. Using it this term to sell clothes is unethical.

In order to make this truly a land where "all people are created equally", we must stop minimalizing how we refer to different groups. Just because you don't intentionally use a racist name, doesn't make it non-racist. We need to educate ourselves, not further insult people by acting like they have no right to be insulted. Read some of the TRUE history of how the land was "discovered" to create the U.S. & Canada. There were many atrocities against Native Indigenous Peoples in order to create "civilization". EDUCATION IS KEY!!

Racist, Sexist and Hatefilled. Would never buy from you and will discourage anyone to buy from you.

This is a disgusting representation of the racism and ignorance indigenous people face within consumerism and society. This situation shows how unwilling people are to admit they are wrong, and admit that they’ve been absolutely ignorant.

White women using racial slurs to profit off Indigenous women and culture is racial colonial violence.
