The funny thing is that a lot of Natives wear those hats, cause the logo is pretty cool. Maybe I’m out of touch cuz I work too much, but I like my Blackhawks stocking hat, and the team for wearing it. ‘Course I think ‘hawk chops are dumber than a box of rocks, too. And see local schools that call themselves ’Chiefs’ and ‘Thunderbirds’ do a good job of portraying it, with input from the Ho Chunk tribe, whose land this is.
But I don’t like KC chief fans making a mockery of our Osage soldiers either, as our buffalo trail made the blueprint for highways and freeways there.
My thoughts: schools getting federal or state funds should have to offer to change their logos to something non racial yo the local tribe(s). If the elected government of the local tribe says they’d like to keep it as is, then that should be an option, too.

I am Native American and I have never been treated as bad as my mother Earth,… I don't know what racism is,… a human that helps mother earth is my family, no matter what color they look like through my eye, or I look through theirs, Mother earth is the only one we should care about! all together,… forget about yourself and save our mother! protect mother earth at all cost! Aho!

Oak flat.
Bhp out of Australia is the foreign mining company and it is a mineral mining giant.. They're global, they're very rich, they have plenty of lawyers probably even tribal member lawyers. Get EPA, Sierra Club involved and use tribal sovereignty.

If we BIPOC all wore the #whiteskins and Caucasians mascot shirts and sweaters I guarantee they will change the names on all teams including college, high school, middle school, and grade school teams too.

This is tragically, one of the worst violations of our Constitution and the peace agreements made with indigenous tribes. Im saddened that the elites feel entitled to override vows.
How dare this current Arizoba administration sell or transfer the land that belongs to the people?!
No government entity owns the land! This is outrageous and shows the greed and weakness of leadership in the capitol.
Corruption in the courts as well.
Lord, bring justice…🙏
