7 Historical Research In my research through History books on Indians, generally, the following pass- age comes to my attention (Nords in brackets are mine.) Quote: "The 1.rrriter in mentioning Indian females never uses the term squaw. As a name in colonial days it may have been proper but it is no longer good form and its use is frowned upon by the Iroquois women in this state (New York) and Canada. It has come with them to mean a degraded female character. The Superintendent of the Six Nations of Canada was severely rebuked several years ago by an old Mohawk woman who resented the term as applied to the women of her nation. The tenm is of course of Algonquin origin. ·An Allegany Seneca o ce explained to me that this word was no longer good language, just Shakespere's (Shakespeare's) wor d HENCH is no longer good English as applied to a housewife, or VILLI .A.l'if ( villain ) as appl ied to a f armer." Unquote. From the preceding passage it appears th~t the term has no connection with the Iroquois but when it appeared in the Bnglish dictionary as meaning an Indian woman, its usage became wide- spread~ It is an obsolete word among the Six Nations and other Indians in Canada and United States but it appears currently in the press, television, r adio and in general conversation among non-Indians. Little do they realize that it is an antiquated term used before the middle ages. Noticeably, the term is never used by well-cultured people but is frequently used by others to belittle an Indian woman, a maiden, mother and wi fe. It is usually disregarded, but as the Indi an brave says, nit hurts but it doesn't sting." Unfortunately the term and others such as savage, brute, etc. appear in the books that pupils read in school. Actually, it means that books on Indian subjects should be censured before placi ng them in the hands of children, Indians and non- Indians. Some books might have to be put out of circulation. This might just mean another step closer to P-E-A- C- E 1 which we all want during 1969. **-~-*************************** Books are keys to T,Jisdom's treasures~ Books are paths that upward lead; Books are gates to lands of pleasuresi Books are friends .
