<DIV>Please. Such terms applied to Native American people are <EM>extremely</EM> 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.</DIV>

<DIV></DIV>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.</DIV>
<DIV>----------------------------------------------------------------</DIV>
<DIV>"It is as certain as any historical fact can be that the word <EM>squaw</EM> that the English settlers in Massachusetts used for 'Indian woman' in the early 1600s was adopted by them from the word <EM>squa</EM> that their Massachusett-speaking neighbors used in their own language to mean 'female, younger woman,'</DIV>
<DIV>---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>OK now jump all over me for putting the truth back in the English language.</DIV>
