History. Native American Washoe people used the valley as a summer tribal ground before the 1849 California Gold Rush. When westward bound travelers first encountered the valley, they saw only women and children as most of the men were away hunting and so called it Squaw Valley.
Squaw Valley—also known as Olympic Valley—is one of the largest ski areas in the United States and houses a popular landmark for Northern Tahoe, the 1960 Olympic Games. It all began in 1942, when two ski adventurists, Wayne Paulsen and Alex Cushing, began building Squaw Valley Ski Resort.
Resort guests can explore 270+ trails across more than 6,000 acres of skiable terrain. With a complimentary 15 minute shuttle that runs between the base areas.

A white man who married or lived with a Native American woman was called a “squaw man” sometimes. It wasn’t a compliment. The male equivalent, I suppose, would be “braves,” but that too has gone by the wayside.
Usage of Papoose The use of papoose in the meaning shown above at sense 1 is regarded as offensive. While use of the term to refer to a style of baby carrier is common, especially in British English, this use is also sometimes regarded as offensive due to its association with sense 1.
