Activists and the government joined forces to change the names, but their efforts have been far from stellar. The U.S. Geographic Names Board shows that a decade of work has brought about different names for only 74 of the 967 places, less than 8 percent. In Oregon, which has more places named "squaw" than anywhere else in the nation, only six of the roughly 170 names have been changed since 2001, the year lawmakers passed a bill banning the word. <br> <br>For more information, please visit: <br><a href="http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/national/apus_story.asp?category=1110&slug=Squaw%20Debate " target="blank">seattlepi.nwsource.com/national/apus_story.asp?category=1110&slug=Squaw%20Debate </a> <br></font></td> </tr> </table> </td></tr> </table> <script type="text/javascript"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="<http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show
