After reading of American locations with "squaw" names, I would vote to change those to less offensive names. For 25 years I have lived right under Squaw Peak in Provo and never minded its name. Recently, however, I was introducing my foster Navajo niece to the area. For the first time, it seemed really rude to call the peak by its current name. Interesting what happens when you see things from someone else's point of view.
