Take this store down it benefits off of racism, and appropriation and it took almost months of messages from friends of mine to even get a half ass apology. Not to mention the models and their hostile and oppressive bigoted messages to native women.

Change the name! This is deeply offensive to me, my family, my people and to my ancestors who fought and survived for me to be here today. Sincerely, an enrolled member of the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes of Oklahoma.

Ur so blossful in ur ignorance that it completely astonishes me. Learn some history and trade me lives because i truly believe u would not be so ignorant or defensive over the name u have chosen. Everytime someone truly wanted to hurt me with words they called me a squaw and a wagonburner and ur defending the name because u have never suffered under the opression that native women around the world have suffered their entire lives. If i had a business called the lively cracker or a team called the honkies would that not offend u even tho ur culture is strictly about ruining and stripping others of theirs. We are just simply trying to make u understand the hatefulness in the title of ur business amd how it should be taken across the nation. U wouldnt have named ur business the spunky n***** so y in the world is ok to name it another racial slur and defend it so vehemently the way u have.

No matter what your heritage nor your skin tone - this is just disrespectful to many. It's not cute - not funny. It's nasty. Pls change the name

The word squaw is a derogatory word coined by colonialists and is in no way about 'lively Native American womeny'

Native Americans may be America’s Forgotten Minority but consider changing the name before we consider shutting you down completely. #NativePride

Don't allow the ignorance of a new generation shame those who were lost before us due to ignorance.
You must change the name of this business.
