Please.  Such terms applied to Native American people are extremely
disrespectful.  It hurts me even to read the words.  The term "Squaw" is
itself derived from an obscenity.  These are people that you are presumably
speaking of; father, mother, and child.  They had names...lineages..
ancestors and (probably) descendants.

Sorry but you are either miss informed or just a PC person who doesn't care
about where a word came from just that its not your liking so we should all
not use it.

"It is as certain as any historical fact can be that the word squaw that the
English settlers in Massachusetts used for 'Indian woman' in the early 1600s
was adopted by them from the word squa that their Massachusett-speaking
neighbors used in their own language to mean 'female, younger woman,'

OK now jump all over me for putting the truth back in the English language.
