Rustic Rebel	BS: Origins of the word 'squaw' (62* d)	RE: BS: Origins of the word 'squaw'	02 May 06
In Itasca State Park (Headwaters of the Mississippi river), there was a Squaw lake now changed to Ozawindib. Only reason I heard for this was it was a derogatory word. Now to go off a bit here, Ozawindib helped to locate the river and brought Henry Schoolcraft to Lake Itasca (Itasca means 'true head') I find it kind of strange they didn't name Itasca, Ozawindib, instead of just a few years ago, changing the name of Squaw lake, to it. Really going off but if anyone was intrested in a bit of history from the area and the river Click.
