it's a racist stereotype that dehumanizes Natives by erasing us.

𧡠trump is demanding the restoration of the racist Washington and Cleveland team names in order to "MAKE INDIANS GREAT AGAIN".
I've been clear for years about the opposition Natives have towards these dehumanizing caricatures and names. I once took over a months worth of abuse from Atlanta fans for calling the tomahawk chop racist after my tweet was used in a HuffPo piece about trump performing it at the world series.

We're still #notyourmascot Washington commanders.
The team unveiled new murals at commanders field that prominently feature the historic logo and the "R" emblem.
Owner #JoshHarris stated they wouldn't be returning to the old name for "obvious reasons" but said the team would "start to do things to bring us back to our heritage & honor our past." 1/
Nothing says your land acknowledgement was performative more than having the Kansas delegates in chiefs jerseys.

This is the same high school, Port Neches-Groves, that Disney allowed to perform a couple of years ago. They didn't let them wear headdresses but did let them chant "scalp 'em".
