Squaw Peak shall remain Squaw Peak for another five years to the dismay of Gov. Janet Napolitano.

Laura Bush visited the Piestewa family yesterday. W

Sorry, the peak should remain Squaw Peak...

As one might imagine, there are hundreds of small businesses in the area called "Squaw Peak This" and "Squaw Peak That," from dry cleaners to pizza parlors to on-call plumbers. Then there are all the businesses on Squaw Peak Highway. Not everyone is thrilled with this, and it gets worse if there is any doubt, because nobody wants to spend hundreds of dollars on new signs, new stationery, etc., and then find out it was all a drill.

The newly Gannett-ized Arizona Republic would have us believe that this is a unanimous decision by the People of Arizona, but don't take bets on that. Barry Goldwater hasn't been dead for five years yet, so he still has nothing named after him. And now this. This woman is war hero and all, but there have been a lot of those; most don't get their own mountain. This is "PC" being rammed down people's throats. Don't believe everything you read in the paper.

Wait the 5 years and name a Real Mountain (who was Humphries?) for her, one on or near her home or reservation.

In the meantime build a new school, hospital, day care center or other such on the reservation in her honor.

If this is just an excuse to placate the PC crowd rename "Squaw Peak" to "Native American Womyn Peak".
