What is a Native American Indian wife called?
A squaw was a common term used in English for a Native American woman until the late 20th century. It has a long history as a derogatory term and is no longer considered appropriate to use in most contexts.
What is a female Indian called?
That depends whether you are interested in historical accuracy, if you are genuinely interested in native languages and cultures - or if you prefer to promote the "ignorant white American" tradition of calling any native American female a squaw."Squaw" is a word used in American English that derives from the Natick (Wampanoag/Narragansett/Massachusett) words squaas, squas and squaus meaning a female. Even the neighbouring Algonquian-speaking tribes had their own different word for this:Delaware ochqueu or xkwe,Powhatan crenepo or cucheneppo or -squaMenominee ikwe,Ojibwe anishinaabekwe,Shawnee ichque,Abenaki phanem,Maliseet -sqehsMohegan sqáNaskapi iskwaawOther linguistic groups had their own words for a female or a woman:Kiowa mahyehnComanche nai'biOnondaga hehron goniaguiOneida laothuwisʌ́tslaˀCayuga agǫgwehSeneca yakökweMohawk yakon:kweMaya (Yucatec) ko'olel or xch'uupFlathead (Kalispel) smeemLakota winCrow biaHidatsa mia or wiaArikara sápatMandan wiinhShoshone wa'ipiPaiute mogo'neZuni mak'iAztec (Nahuatl) cihuatlYaqui jamutHopi wùutiCahuilla nícillInca (Quechua) warmi or huarmiXavante pi'õThe idea that all native American women are "squaws" is clearly totally wrong and the use of that word should be avoided - it is simply insulting, ignorant and simplistic.^ We actually prefer to be called "Indigenous" because any natural born human inhabiting either North or South America is a "Native American". Interesting side note, people from other areas of the world invade "Native American" chat rooms and post some pretty offensive and anti-American Propaganda. They are mistaken because they took the literal translation of "Native American" and assume that a "Native American" chat room is full of average Americans. Little do they they're talking to a bunch of savages !!!
