Best Answer

Squaw, from the Massachuset (Algonquian) eshqua, was commonly used for a North American native woman. Perhaps a little insensitive nowadays.

Red Indian is insulting and 100 years out of date.

Names for native American or first nations women include Mary and Jane.

Notes on term usages:

Squaw originated as simple term; it was quickly changed however to represent an Indian woman who sold herself for sex. There are very few Native Americans today who would not perform 'brutal acts of savage conduct' on you for using the term today. The same goes for the term "Red Indian" or "Redskin" although your chance of survival is higher with the use of the latter terms.

Native American women are called: Women, Woman, Mother (as by us they are likened to the Great Spirit), Lady, Ma'am, Mom & Mother; Susie, Tara, Lisa - and more. These people, these human beings, are different from you in only their cultural belief systems.

You call her a woman!

The term squaw is a terrible word that came about because of the differences between how the European settlers viewed women and how the native community viewed women. Today, in the native community, it means slut or whore.
