LINN COUNTY, IA (IRN) – A park in Linn County will be going by a new name, honoring a Native American Woman. The Linn County Conservation Board looked into the name of Squaw Creek Park last year and had a historian do a report on the park’s history.

She was an advocate for Native American and women’s rights and was inducted into the Iowa Women’s Hall of Fame in 1993. The conservation board says the word “squaw” is offensive.
