The word Squaw is very offensive to native women. It is hurtful and insensitive.

This is disgusting. I am a Metis woman from Canada. It is because of this ugly word and ugly attitudes that my culture was hidden in my family for a very long time. This young woman needs to educate herself. This boutique is also against the Indian Arts and Crafts Act of 1990...she could be fined big bucks. This money could be going to an indigenous person that needs the funds.

I'm not fully native but I still find the page extremely offensive and disrespectful. It should be taken down and banned.

I am signing this today in solidarity with Native Womxn. I, myself, am not a Native American, however, I do not condone the use of derogatory terms that are meant to attack specific groups of womxn. I pray this store name be changed to something more productive and thoughtful to ALL womxn, and not just white womxn.

It’s very unfortunate that in this day and age we have to sign a petition in order for someone to realize it is not okay to have a racist slur in their business name.

I don't go around calling everything "offensive" or "racist". This clothing store needs to respect other peoples cultures instead of capitalizing on them. Period.

I am an aboriginal woman and I want this taken down. Not just for me and my ancestors but for every race.
Yeah, that’s pretty racist
