The word Squaw has Algonkian roots. Many words referring to females end in “squa”. The Algonquins taught the Northeastern Colonists their language as best they could. This was a new experience for the Colonists. Sure there was some insulting USAGE of the word. (primarily by French Trappers) But the word itself is Native American. Just use it right.
