Fwd: Campaign puts respect for Indians on map

[Alan H. Hartley]

Phil,

Thanks for the pointer to an interesting article. But note that SQUAW
does *not* come from an Iroquoian anatomical term, but from an Eastern
Algonquian word for 'woman'. The bogus Iroquoian etymology has been
thoughtlessly repeated in many media sources, and Ives Goddard of the
Smithsonian has tried, obviously with only limited success, to squelch
it.
