Once an ignorant person is educated on their racism, only pride and bigotry keep them from correcting their wrongs. Jacques Bourdeau, Ottawa

I sent this company an informative email this morning. I'm not the first and won't be the last. I watched her video. She leans on the definition of the word SQUAW from a dictionary. She doesn't seem to comprehend the TRUE MEANING and its derogatory insult to First Nations people. I welcome her attorney....as she states...we will be hearing from him. Well lil girl...WE HAVE ATTORNIES TOO. BRING IT. No one wants you to stop selling....or close your store. Just remove the word SQUAW. IT HURTS THE SAME TO US AS IF YOUR STORE HAD THE "N" WORD IN THE NAME IF THE STORE. Does THAT help you understand?????

Thie name of your boutique is indeed deeply offensive. But even more so is your reaction to people pointing out the history genocide among indigenous people. Change the name. Close the shop. Listen. Educate yourself. And become a better and more compassionate human.

Amazing to think in this day derogatory terms are still used. Have you ever considered 'whitetrashfashion.com"? I think not.

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. The English word is not used among Native American, First Nations, Inuit or Métis peoples." " Western feminists have much to learn from hearing the stories, teachings and sacred roles occupied by Indigenous women within our pre-contact governance structures" Ekosi

I am sure you could have found a different name. I am sure you realized it wasn’t appropriate
