Squaw is a derogatory word meant for Indigenous women of Turtle Island. You have appropriated our sacred headdress for monetary gain. Will never by your products and make sure those I know, never will either.

It is illegal to offer or display for sale, or sell any art or craft product in a manner that falsely suggests it is Indian produced, an Indian product, or the product of a particular Indian or Indian Tribe or Indian arts and crafts organization, resident within the United States. For a first time violation of the Act, an individual can face civil or criminal penalties up to a $250,000 fine or a five-year prison term, or both. If business violates the Act, it can face civil penalties or can be prosecuted and fined up to $1,000,000.

An insult to those of us who are Native, especially women. Donate your profits to indigenous education and change your name. P.S. you do not have a tribe!

If she really is Native American, like she claims, she would have the sense and self-respect not to use the word.
