   Lawyers hope to erase racist and misogynistic nickname of mountain landmark   
      
      
   Momentum is building to properly name a prominent landmark on a mountain in   
   the Alberta Rockies because its commonly used nickname is racist and   
   misogynistic.   
      
   The feature, which has been known since the 1920s as Squaw's Tit, is located   
   near the summit on Mount Charles Stewart and can be seen from the mountain   
   town of Canmore.

   Two Alberta lawyers, Jude Daniels and Natasha Egan, have been working since   
   2014 to find a formal name for the landmark.   
      
   "(We) are just disgusted by the name," Egan said in an interview from Calgary.   
   "Colloquially, people call it The Tit.   
      
   "So the racism was dropped, but the misogyny remains."   
      
   The word "squaw" came from the Algonquin language and once simply meant woman,   
   but the word has evolved into a term to disparage Indigenous women.   
      
   Egan said she and Daniels, who is Metis and works with Aboriginal communities,   
   have been speaking to the province and the Stoney Nakoda Nation to come up   
   with a traditional Indigenous name for the landmark.   
      
   They would like to propose a name that honours missing and murdered Indigenous   
   women, she said.   
      
   Two recent attempts   
      
   There have been two recent attempts to officially name the landmark, but the   
   Alberta Historical Resources Foundation board rejected both.
