WASHINGTON — The Department of the Interior today announced a list of candidate replacement names for more than 660 geographic features with the name “squaw,” which was officially declared a derogatory term as a result of Secretary’s Order 3404. The Department has initiated Tribal consultations and an opportunity for public comment to recommend and review proposed replacement names.
Secretary’s Order 3404 established the 13-member Derogatory Geographic Names Task Force, which includes representatives from the Department’s Bureau of Indian Affairs, Bureau of Land Management, Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement, National Park Service, Office of Diversity, Inclusion and Civil Rights, Office of Surface Mining Reclamation, and U.S. Geological Survey. The Department of Agriculture’s U.S. Forest Service is also a member. The Task Force’s first action was to finalize a decision to replace a full spelling of the derogatory term with “sq___” for all official related communications.
“Words matter, particularly in our work to make our nation’s public lands and waters accessible and welcoming to people of all backgrounds. Consideration of these replacements is a big step forward in our efforts to remove derogatory terms whose expiration dates are long overdue,” said Secretary Deb Haaland. “Throughout this process, broad engagement with Tribes, stakeholders and the general public will help us advance our goals of equity and inclusion.”
Prior to the implementation of the Task Force, changes to derogatory names for geographic features were submitted as a proposal to the Board on Geographic Names, which then worked through its deliberative process. The BGN has received 261 proposals to replace geographic features with sq___ in the name in the past 20 years.
Under SO 3404, the Task Force will recommend replacements for more than 660 geographic features to the BGN in a matter of months, starting from a list of five candidate names for each individual feature. This process stands to significantly advance and accelerate the name change process across the nation.
Tribal consultations and public comment period announced in the Federal Register today will give the Task Force the chance to seek additional candidate names and feedback from Tribes and the public. The Task Force will prioritize these names in its review and provide a final recommendation for the BGN to vote on when it convenes later this year.
Now in addition to the N-word, the Sq-word is never to be used.

How stupid...It’s a female Indian....not derogatory at all....except in a certain context.
Ho?
SQUAW!!!
Just like Land O Lakes — get rid of the Indian, keep the land...
This is idiotic. Squaw is not a negative term. Where I live, we had actual derogatory names on places like Nigger Mountain. Years back, Nigger Mountain was changed to Mount Jefferson. This was done well before the woke purge of the last decade. As more of these drop to the wayside, the definition of offensive has to continue to change to keep the race hustlers in business.
There should be no Indian names anywhere.
She is a Laguna Pueblo member and former San Felipe Pueblo tribal administrator.
Since she despises the oil and gas industries, then her utilities need to be shut off.
It is way past time for the left to be repaid in kind.
Yeah, let’s waste our time worrying about a handful of people, most of whom aren’t even native Americans, get their panties in a knot while hundreds of millions people see millions more spent fuel that they did before Dufus got into office. Democrats don’t give a rats a$$ about the American public or the southern border. Can’t wait for November!
Yes. This is how we will improve relations between the Indians and others. By erasing all evidence that they ever existed. Liberals are such geniuses. The Army will have to change it’s chopper names from Apache and Blackhawk to Anglo names. Otherwise racism.
“The word has been interpreted by modern activists as a slanderous assault against Native American women. But traditional Algonkian speakers, in both Indian and English, still say words like ‘nidobaskwa’=a female friend, ‘manigebeskwa’=woman of the woods, or ‘S-word Sachem’=female chief. When Abenaki people sing the Birth Song, they address ‘nuncksquassis’=‘little woman baby’.”“I understand the concern of Indian women who feel insulted by this word, but I respectfully suggest that we reclaim our language rather than let it be taken over,” wrote Bruchac.
The first recorded version of s-word was found in a book called Mourt’s Relation: A Journey of the Pilgrims at Plymouth written in 1622. The term was not used in a derogatory fashion but spoke of the “squa sachim or Massachusets Queen” in the September 20, 1621 journal entry.

Squaw.
When this "squaw" crap came up years ago, she got the vanity license plate "Squaw".
The DMV didn't want to give it to her, but when she proved she was an Indian, they did.
Just like Land O Lakes — get rid of the Indian, keep the land...

...and ever since, the artwork on their carton of butter looks empty and lifeless. Good job, wokesters!
The USA is an occupied country. There is no doubt. I utterly hate and despise these filthy woke bastards and the puppet masters pulling the strings. We’ll see where these filthy pricks are 8 months from now.
1984 was written as a warning, not an instruction manual.
Oops!
Damn...I love Squaw Valley...they gonna bulldoze it>>>>
