The state decided it would be nice to have the roadsigns on the SK rez
in SK. Don't ask me what they call the characters or how to say the words.

There's a mountain west of town that was named Squaw Peak, or Squaw Tit
originally. The Indians decided 'squaw' was derogatory, so it was
renamed 'Ch-paa-qn'. Good luck with that. It's still Squaw to me.
