Gilmore of the Museum of the American Indian In New York says that the Indians resent havlug the words "squaw" and "papoose" applied ap-plied to .their womerj and children. "The use of the terms 'buck.' 'squaw' and 'papoose' is not only an offense against refined speech." according to Gilmore. "but those who use such terms are thereby incapacitated to fairly appreciate the Indian, or anything any-thing of Indian culture. The psychological psycho-logical effect of the use of such terras is to inhibit the mind of one who uses them from estimating Indians in their 1 proper hnman relationship. And 1 may say that of all the wrongs and Injustices In-justices suffered by the Indian race, the native American race, none causes more bitter, burning resentment, and naturally so, than this of declassiug Indians apart from all human kind by the use of these reprehensible anii j derogatory terms." j |
