AbstractThis article summarizes the events surrounding the controversial renaming of Squaw Peak, a prominent landmark in Phoenix, Arizona. The article provides a commentary on how one state and one city is handling the derogatory name issue (the issue is far from resolved). Information was gathered largely through personal interviews of those most closely involved, including members of the Arizona State Board on Geographic and Historic Names and U.S. Board on Geographic and Historic Names, Arizona legistators and gubernatorial staffers. Information was supplemented by several area media sources including (but not limited to) The Arizona Republic, Indian Country Today, The Arizona Capitol Times.
