This is so disgusting it doesn't require an explanation. This boutique shouldn't just rename, it should CLOSE, as everything they sell has been appropriated anyway. Stay in your lane.

Unacceptable use of a derogatory term being used to promote the capitalist goals of a white settler.

You need to respect the words of indigineous women, this name is offensive, your photos are appropriation, and your unwillingness to recognize your mistakes is telling.

Squaw is a pejorative specifically against Native American women. I so want to rename your store to the Pistol P?&$y or Cowgirl C;?&. That is what your store name stands for.

Ignorance is not an excuse. Educate yourself before naming your store something racist and offensive. Learn to Google.

As a white woman, you don’t get to decide what is or isn’t racist. Educate yourself and Listen to native women when they are taking the time to explain to you why this is harmful. Stop being ignorant, admit that you made a mistake and change your business name once and for all.

Your “boutique” name is horrifically offensive, derogatory and wrong on so many levels.

I'm not Native American, but I can clearly see that this is not an appropriate name for a business. I live in a Native American community, and find this really disturbing.

Change the name? Better yet shut the business down. This is literally the definition of racism and cultural appropriation. A white woman selling fake “native inspired” clothing to make a profit. What has the world come to?
