The U.S. looks to replace a derogatory name used hundreds of times on federal lands
The Department of the Interior is moving forward with plans to remove a name the department declared to be derogatory from federal lands.
Interior Secretary Deb Haaland formed a task force and declared the word "squaw" derogatory in November 2021. Now, the department is seeking public comment on name replacements for the more than 660 geographic features that contain the word.
So glad to see this. It’s about time.
