I usually don't enter theses threads cause nothing ever comes from it, but...
Lakota here...and grew up on the rez. Near Oglala.
I love all the Cherokees in the world as well. Must be a bazillion of them lol.
Anyway, I don't have a problem with the word Chiefs either. Redskins, imo, is pretty derogatory, but to be honest, renaming Washington's team is not going to get the Wasichu to keep a single treaty they signed. It does make the PC crowd feel better so there is that.
