Well, if that's where you are getting your current ideas from...
I'd say you're making a HUGE mistake.
American Westerns were horrible, made decades ago; FULL of the ways of White Men's ignorance, brutality, treatment and
attitudes in general towards Native Americans.
Also, if you don't like someone, shoot 'em and kill' em...leave 'em in the dirt street.
But, you're right just saying squaw then WAS ok.
