An American Indian woman is known as a squaw. SHe can be from any tribe, not specific to a tribe.
Though this term is highly offensive to the native Americans

It's a native American Indian's name for an adolescent female, who has to do all the cleaning and chores in the camp with all the other squaws. Ask an American Indian or the dictionary.

A squaw is an American Indian wife. If you come from Glasgow it means you are a bam.

The book "Thesaurus of Slang" identifies the term Squaw as a synonym for prostitute, harlot, hussy and floozy.

I read the other answers first. Then I walked away for 10 min to clear the tears from my eyes. I am sorry you were called such a rude name! Whore is the most correct answer, it can also mean worse things. Need to go 10,000 tears once more!

This is a racist comment. It is an offensive anglicised word meaning Native American or "Red Indian" girl of loose morals.
I strongly suggest you inform the person who called you this to never call it you again, and if they do, then report them to your HR people.
