FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (AP) — Urban Outfitters has removed the word “Navajo” from product names on its website in the wake of criticism from the Navajo Nation government, bloggers and others, who viewed the usage as disrespectful and a trademark violation.
As recently as last week, the trendy clothing chain used “Navajo” in more than 20 product names online, including jackets, earrings and sneakers. Two items in particular sparked controversy: the “Navajo Hipster Panty” and the “Navajo Print Fabric Wrapped Flask.”
