text: How about the word Squaw?  I am married to an Alaskan Native, an Athabascan woman.  I think the word Squaw is derogatory.  There is a song, too, that uses the phrase, "Squaws along the Yukon are good enough for me."  That song should be removed from jukeboxes found in bars throughout Alaska. Also, the treaty with Russia when the US purchased Alaska uses the phrase, Uncivilized Tribes.  That's kind of offensive, too.
