Re: No using "squa" in Maine

Maine isn't the only state sensitive to the word "squaw". In Phoenix, Squaw Peak was officially renamed Piestewa Peak in honor of Army Spc. Lori Ann Piestewa who died in combat in Iraq in 2003. State Route 51 was formerly known as the Squaw Peak Parkway and had its name changed to Piestewa Freeway prior to the mountain being officially renamed.

I still call it Squaw Peak though. That's what I grew up knowing it as. From there you can see the downtown skyline which is pretty cool.
