BOZEMAN (AP) — It's taken nearly five years, but Squaw Creek south of here now has a new name — Storm Castle Creek.

Two other features on the Gallatin National Forest — Squaw Peak and Squaw Gulch — also have been renamed.

‘‘Squaw Peak is now Morningstar Peak,'' said Jackie Riley, cartographer for the forest. The gulch is now Travois Gulch.

The new names are part of a national movement to remove the word ‘‘squaw'' from geographic features. The word is considered an insult by American Indians.

‘‘You just know it's a bad name and a dirty name for an Indian woman,'' said Carol Juneau of Browning, co-chair of a committee trying to rename 76 peaks, creeks, flats, gulches and buttes in Montana.

Name changes must be approved by the Board of Geographic Names, which moves slowly. The board has approved 14 name changes in Montana, and has 13 more before it, Juneau said.

Squaw Pass in the Absaroka Range hasn't been renamed because the board couldn't decide which name was proper, Meyer Pass or Meyers Pass.
