Squaw Cake or Bannock

 Darlene (Alberta) says:
iskwew is the proper terminology not "squaw"... in the Cree language iskwew translated means woman; "squaw" came about when westerners immigrated to our lands and this was the interpretation which came to be and is often used as a derogatory term. I am not attempting to start anything, merely educating whomever shared this on the proper terminology.
