You may have been ignorant when you named your business but you can’t claim that anymore, by digging your heels in your proving you don’t care that this is racist.

Very derogatory to Native Americans...the word squaw and it was done so in a very distasteful and hate matter.

If I was called a "Squaw" someone would be getting punched in the face. IT IS DEROGATORY!

Please rename your company and also educate yourself about Native American issues before returning to market. Name issue is one thing, but some of your items are further examples of cultural appropriation. You might think you aren't racist, but you are and are just unaware of it, which can be more problematic than someone who is knowingly racist. Educate yourself and use this as opportunity for growth and self awareness.

I understand that you did not understand the implications of your business name. Now that you are aware that your brand and related product names are derogatory and thereby disrespectful -- you have an opportunity to be courageous and create change.

It's her superior attitude and ignorance in which I find the most offence in. If she just put her pride aside, apologized and accepted she made a mistake I wouldn't have a problem with her.

Her intentions may not have been to offend and people shouldn't be threatening her or her family. But that doesn't change the fact that the name *is* offensive. If she wouldn't call a store "The Sassy N-word", (and I do hope she wouldn't), she should admit that the name is inappropriate and change it.

Many Indigenous People are offended by this including me b/c it contributed to stereotypes that lead to unfair treatment of Indigenous women.
