"Long-tailed Duck," Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.In North American English it is sometimes called oldsquaw, though this name has fallen out of favor under influence of negative connotations of the word squaw in English usage. Some biologists have also feared that this name would be offensive to some Native American tribes involved in the conservation effort.
