An interesting read there! I notice in there that there is a proposal to change "Squaw Creek" to "Council Spring Creek". Pardon my ignorance because I'm Australian and don't have a big knowledge of Native American terms - but is the word "squaw" derogatory because it's a rude word or is it derogatrory because it is Indian? For instance, would I be equally offending Germans if I named a body of water "Lake Fräulein"?
