Remove Word ‘Squaw’

Nov 18th, 2008 by menzies

BC Park’s Flimsy Attempt to Remove Word ‘Squaw’ :: Views :: thetyee.ca

“When in Rome do as the Vandals do” — a line of graffiti I once read.

This brazen suggestion crossed my mind awhile back when again I confronted a series of BC Parks signs that continued to display the word “squaw” on them. But instead of monkey-wrenching the signs, I decided to shine a light on the government’s ongoing use of this ugly word and the racism behind it.
