If you don't know that is one thing. when you learn better and don't respect what you learn that is ignorance and ego. do the right thing.

This is so wrong in so many ways. Change your racist name, and products by the looks of it! Despicable.

It's really important that you understand that the term is a derogatory slur to Aboriginal women. It would be no different if you called your store The Spunky G**k, or The Spunky Wh*p, or The Spunky N**ger. I appreciate you thought it was empowering or cute and hope that it was a deliberate slight. But now that you are aware that you are mistaken, it seems really silly to argue the point and not change it. It's the easiest thing in the world to recognize when you make a mistake, and simply fix it and move on. You have the opportunity to do that here. I hope that you reconsider and do the right thing.

How racist! What an awful name & shame on you for not changing it when you know it's derogatory to Native women!

Change the name and don't show images of people who are NOT Native American chiefs or Elders wearing a sacred headdress. Show some respect for Native people.. please! If not we will boycott..

My ancestors were made to feel less then human by the term "squaw". It it not "cute" or "trendy". Please have some decency and change your name to something appropriate that doesn't make light of other's pain.

As a white woman, I would like to apologize to native women that it takes a petition to get other white women to stop using an offensive term. This shop is the epitome of white privilege. White people must do better and should be held accountable by other white people when they don't.

Owner needs to take an Indigenous 101, then she may understand how damaging and hurtful she is being.

The name of the business is racist. And also the merchandise you are promoting with a white girl wearing a haeddress is stereotyping my people.
