Listen to the story here.
Gladys Dick McKinney has just made a quick stop for strawberry jello at the Dollar General on Highway 180.
She’s making a cake for her brother’s birthday but before she heads out, she takes a minute to talk to me about the proposed name change and even asks me to sit in her air conditioned car.
Gladys Dick McKinney is a member of the Dunlap Band of Mono Indians and opposes the name change.
“As far as Squaw Valley offending me, that name does not offend me. And I m a Indian woman, a mother,” Dick McKinney says.
