I'm very inventive because the history of The Soiux has been with me from my 4year and I'm now 41!!! We do camps in the weekend and we try to do it as good as possible! Like: we don't want anything from now, like the smartphone or the liter for are sigarettets also no watch no nail polish and many others from later than +-1800 I hate the way 'American people' looks down on the Native traibs!! I will always take the same choices that are the best for all Lakota and Dakota!! They new truly what was best for Mother Nature

The name never should have been used-please change it, and please drop the arrogance long enough to see what you did.

It is wrong for non-Natives to use derogatory words and to profit of the style of the Indigenous peoples

It is a shameful, racist, ignorant name that is offensive & hateful. You are the racist, not the 1000's of people taking the time to tell you how wrong the name is. Being called squaw is NOT an endearing term to ANY woman, especially those of us who identify as First Nations.

Squaw has been a derogatory term for a First Nations woman for well over 140 years in media. As well this shop is appropriatimg cultural imagery to sell its so called brand. A non native woman in its logo all show an incredible lack of due diligence in starting a company. Also the responses from their reps have been startlingly ignorant as well.

Um...you don’t just need to change your name, you need to shut down your “business” right away because, although you don’t realize it and will be super pissed and offended to hear me say this, your entire store (and therefore implicit outlook on life) is 100% white supremacy in action. You have so much to learn.

Look up the definition. It is not complimentary or respectful & is really quite hurtful. Learn some real history & change the name.
