Ski resort drops their offensive name
by Jason Weisberger from on (#57CBP)
California's popular ski resort, Squaw Valley will change its name to something else.
"While we love our local history and the memories we all associate with this place as it has been named for so long, we are confronted with the overwhelming evidence that the term 'squaw' is considered offensive," Ron Cohen, the resort's president and chief operating officer, said in a statement. "We will find a new name that reflects our core values, storied past, and respect for all those who have enjoyed this land."
The resort said it will announce a new name in 2021 and begin to use it after the end of the next winter season.
