<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>OK now jump all over me for putting the truth back in the English
language.</DIV>
