Every summer we have squaw lines with lots of thunderstorms
What would these “Hispanic” people know of Indian culture. Maybe squaw is a word. FCOL...”the S-word”? No more of that crap. Ridicule these idiots back under their rock.
It means vagina.
Oh come on, stop it. Really? Nothing better to do??
Escape from Commiefornia continues…
Have they polled the Tribal Nations?
I wonder if that bill contains money and manpower to “change the names.”
When I worked in a bank I was involved with a merger every three months. The name changing process can be daunting. Signage, documents, and all sorts of legal stuff is involved.
So yeah, “Let’s just change the name!” Is fine. But I don’t think people know what this really means.
When did squaw become a slur?
I hate seeing our history erased.
Do the Native American tribes want this?
Sometimes California is used as a slur. They should change their name.
When the Sacagawea dollar coin came out in 2000, I among others referred to it as a squaw-buck

This Leftist rag, not to be confused with the Babylon Bee, is based in the capital city of the craziest State in our union. The whole place belongs in a strait jacket.
My great grandmother was supposedly a squaw. Maybe I’m related to Princes Graybeaver from MA?
Squawsh plants tremble In Fear of being cancelled (yes i know how it’s spelled lol)
In recognition of the contributions to our culture and society by black rappers I’d like the name squaw replaced by bitch and ho.
I miss Squaw bread. Is it still made under another name?
Respect American Indian tribes - but remove any and all cultural and linguistic references to them. Pretend they don’t exist.
Makes sense in bizarro leftist world.
We in Phoenix have a mountain that was named Squaw Peak. Wikipedia says it was named that about 1910. I have a book, Myths and Legends of our own land By Charles M. Skinner/1896 so I know it was named that before 1896. The book includes an old tale about it having a cave and a haunting in it.
They renamed it Piestewa peak after Lori Ann Piestewa, the first known Native American woman to die in combat in the U.S. military, and the first female soldier to be killed in action in the 2003 Iraq War.
I feel the historical aspect of the mountain was lost in this stupid shuffle to be ‘woke’.
here is the story for someone who would want to read it, the book was renamed and reprinted with a woke title I guess.

In 2003, newly elected Governor Janet Napolitano petitioned the state board to rename the mountain for Lori Piestewa. The Governor’s lobbying, while ultimately successful, proved to be controversial. The controversy stemmed in part from the fact that governor’s request violated a required waiting period of five years after a person’s death prior to renaming a geographic feature; Piestewa had been killed earlier that year while deployed on active military duty in Iraq.
Done in a big rush.
I’m certainly glad to hear that California has solved all its real problems, i.e., crime, drug abuse, etc., and is now going after the low-hanging fruit of place names.
When we said “Free Speech”, we didn’t mean for you.
The Fukarewe tribe is not amused.
No kidding. Squaw Valley, site of the 1960 Winter Olympics.
Two Native Americans (NA1 & NA2) were walking on a path in the woods.
NA1: Look, black bug.
NA2: Squash it.
NA1: No, black bug.
(Hint: read NA2 quickly)
