The U.S. Department of the Interior is now seeking comments on possible replacement names or other suggestions. The deadline is Monday.
BOISE, Idaho — For generations, names for many Idaho geographical features have used “squaw,” a derogatory term for Native American women. Squaw Butte. Little Squaw Creek. Squaw Flat. Squaw Meadow. Squaw Joe Canyon.
The agency is now seeking comments on possible replacement names or other suggestions. The deadline is Monday. The five suggested replacement names come from nearby streams: Corral Creek, Jakes Creek, Haw Creek, Long Hollow Creek and Spring Creek. “The time has come to recognize that the term ‘squaw’ is no less derogatory than others which have been identified and should also be erased from the national landscape and forever replaced,” Haaland wrote in a November order.
