Not to mention the cost of every residence and business having to change their address/signage. Sign companies are ecstatic.

Just when you think any government in the US couldn’t do anything more stupid than they have in the past ,,,

Apparently it comes from Algonquin, in partial Massachusett language and means woman or wife.
No derogatory at all in original context. Nothing about sexual organs or anything like that. (See Wikipedia.)
squaw (”woman”), squawsuck (”women”), keegsquaw (”virgin or maid”), segousquaw (”widower”), and squausnit (”woman’s god”)
I guess, the Pilgrims learned it from the Natives and applied to any Native Woman, regardless of tribe or language spoken.

Not to mention Nativeamericanbirthingpersonball.

At that rate, the term Democrat needs to be banned. The Democrat Party is the party of slavery, the Ku Klux Klan, Segregation, Jim Crow laws, and pedo grooming.

And just LIke that, places were only named for whites.

Well if he is helpless trying to make his foolish policies improve the lives of the people of California, he can certainly rush in and make a big splash by boldly attacking inert things that don’t matter at all but exalt his righteous self.

When great herds of Idiots roamed the land.

Aside: the people of Squaw Valley should amend their welcome sign.

“Welcome to Squaw Valley, even if you are an idiot named Gavin Newsome”

The “Miracle on Ice” US over USSR was 1980 Lake Placid.

Indigenous Person Pronouns She / Her Valley.

[dfwgator]

Typical Paleface behavior: remove the Indian, keep the land.

[chopperk]

Newsom want the new name to be Newsom Valley?

True, but we also beat the Russians in 1960. I just found that out today and wondered why that wasn’t also a miracle.

[Parley Baer]

Pure insanity and this clown wants to run for President.

[beethovenfan]

Why doesn’t Newsom do something about California’s serious problems? All he does is posture. What a dork.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

When’s he going to sign the bill banning the term, ‘Whitey?’

*Crickets Chirping*

[Scrambler Bob]

“Gavin” used to be “Squaw”, before he Anglicized it.

[budj]

Chief Bald Eagle objects.

[FlingWingFlyer]

I can’t believe the Indians are putting up with this crap from the left wing, rich white kids. First the Redskins and now Squaw. You’d think all the white as Snowflakes had Cherokee Princesses with high cheekbones for “grandmothers”.
