What ticks me off the most is that the clothes are cute and MOST don’t have anything to do with Native American/First Nations culture. Why would you muddy an otherwise great business with such a racist name?

Have some sensitivity and change the name. Maybe you didn’t realize that it was derogatory but now that you know do the right thing!

Even as a whiter than white person, I am stunned at the lack of awareness it would take to name a business using a word that I would never even say out loud. Please change it. Don't do it because of pressure or the negative attention it's getting. Do it because it's right. Just be decent.

Definitely a racial slur, no doubt about it. Change the name of the store or else you’re a piece of racist garbage.

I am a First Nation person and I find the name of your boutique offensive. The term "squaw" is belittling and it makes you sound like an ignorant person. We no longer use the "N word" so why use the "S word", both were terms created that show little to no respect for people of different colors.

I have no idea what your thinking process was in choosing your name. You may have thought it cute...
I hope now that you have had it pointed out to you and maybe researched the name a bit more that you will realize the error in judgement and change your name
Thank you

Squaw is a horrible name that people use to torment indigenous women, you should change your name and make amends for your mistake. I'm shocked you are trying to "keep" the name.

The English word Squaw is an ethnic and sexual slur. The 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. Change the name.

The name of this online boutique is an offensive racist name that slanders Native American women. Change your name. Facebook, you needs to stand consistent against racial slander and remove this account from your platform.

Please change the name. I'm sad about the responses from your staff. It is a poor reflection of you as a young business person.
