So back in the day male indians didn’t call the female indians squws?
Fun fact, the answer to your question is, “No, unless they were Algonquin. And even then, probably not.”
There is no such thing as “The Indian language”. While there are similarities between some tribes who share “language families”, when you compare the languages of distant tribes–say the Algonquin and the Navajo, the languages have almost no similarities.
So the only Indians to call a women “squaw” would be an Algonquin or perhaps a member of another tribe who used another Algonquin-family language. Except… They may or may not have ever used the word as we pronounce it today
The word itself is probably an Anglicized or Francocized corruption of the actual word. Since the Algonquian language was not formally recorded until the late 19th century, it’s impossible to know for sure.
But now we get into the dicey area of what did the word come to mean to the (mainly) Anglo and French colonials? The contention is that it came to mean something deragatory, similar to the word “b!tch” which used to refer to a female dog, but of course has now because largely a derogatory word meaning something totally different. Historical evidence on this point is thin.
