California to remove derogatory term for Indigenous women from names of streets, parks and other places in 15 counties ...Middle East

By Ashley R. Williams, CNN (CNN) — California is stripping the word “squaw” – a derogatory term for Indigenous women – from dozens of place names across 15 counties, state agencies recently announced. For decades, the names of more than 100 of the state’s parks, buildings, streets, bridges and other geographic features and locations have included the term, which is considered racist and offensive toward Native American women, according to a bill California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed into law in 2022. The updated place names are expected to go in effect by January 1, 2025. The upcoming changes are part of nationwide efforts to examine and replace derogatory terms on geographic features.
