There's so many other creative name a you can use for your store. Why use one that makes you look ignorant and uneducated?

This is a disgusting abuse of privilege. I have seen her conversations with those of indigenous heritage that have confronted this woman about the what this term means. only for her to use this same offensive term TO the ones confronting her. She is VERY aware of how to use it against indigenous people, she is a gross human.

Instagram needs to be held accountable to allow blatant racism, and educated if they dont understand the correlation.

Wow. I think this is a simple matter of someone not understanding the gravity of the word they are using. I hope this petition is eye-opening and will make the owner learn something about our country. This name is highly offensive and ignorant.

This has nothing to do with freedom of speech or anything like that. This is a hateful, disgusting term used to describe Native American women, and you should know better. You DO know better.

hey, did you know that there's a word that was used to construct a lascvicious,shameless,unmaternal,,prostitute,ugly,I capable of high sentiment or manners , a dark mirror image to the idealised nineteenth century visions of white women. This women was deserted,separated from her children,divorced, and left highly vulnerable.The stereotype easy squaw objects no human value beyond sexual gratification. it has been attached to the thousands of indigenous women,mothers,sisters family's who have been murdered,raped, and those that are missing. this terminology reflects decades of government policy it has fractured families and has impoverished women for over a century. these women have not been seen as fully human.AND YOU ARE ENCOURAGING THE CONTINUED USE OF THIS TERM.indigenous women will continue to suffer from violence at these high rates if terms like this one are still used as a COMPANY BUSINESS NAME

The name she uses is very defensive. It upset me. Very disturbing that she thinks this is okay and argues that it isn’t derogatory. Ignorance at its finest.

I´m from Germany and even I know this is very wrong. I really can´t see what you wanted to express with your business name, but this name is dumb and disrespectful, to put it mildly.

The name of your shop is OFFENSIVE and is in direct violation of Indian Arts and Crafts Act of 1990.
