It came to be used as an abominable epithet for First Nations women, but as I understand it originally was an honourable term, and some scholars actually made an attempt to restore it to its original meaning. Sadly, it will always have a negative ring to it. Years ago the name of the duck known as Oldsquaw was changed to Long-tailed Duck, a small step forward but an important one.David M.
