derogatory / offensive word > 'squaw'

Historically, the term has been used

as "an offensive ethnic, racial, and sexist slur,

particularly for Indigenous women,"

the department noted.

The term originated

from the Algonquian word for "woman,"

but its meanings has been skewed

for centuries by white people.
