Lake Tahoe's Squaw Valley Resort Considering Changing Names Due To Racial Implications
The word "squaw" has been thought of as a racist or derogatory term used towards Native American women. In light of the many current race issues, Sqauw Valley Alpine Meadows is considering the name change.
A report from The Sacramento Bee says that a representative from the resort, Christine Horvath, said the business is looking into a plan to review the use of the word "squaw" in the mountain's name.
As there are several businesses local to the ski mountain that also use the word "squaw" in their names, there could be many name changes coming in the future.
