What are they squawking about?

"... the United States board on geographic names... "

You mean there's some group of bureaucrats which has the authority to approve names of local features? Why are we paying for such a group?

According to the American Indian Movement, the word squaw as a derivative of otsikwaw is an insult referring to the vagina.

Anyone seen the "Otsikwaw Monologues?"

I doubt that "squaw" comes from an Indian word for vagina. It probably comes from an Indian term for women but I doubt that Indians would tell the settlers about vaginas often enough for them to pick it up as referring to women, unless they called their women "vaginas".

I saw a program on PBS about this very thing. Even Indians don't agree on what the word means. There were Indians on the program that claimed these people were nuts and that squaw means wife.

I looked up Donald Soctomah. He's a busy little boy - among other things, he's got a gig as a nonvoting tribal member of Maine's legislature. The only problem is that his "tribe" consists of 900 people and he looks like Mr. Whipple.

Smokes or Blackjack?

A Moose bosom once bit my sister. Or something like that.
