Toronto Tontos has a nice ring to it.

That will offend their Italian-American fans. “Tonto” means “fool” in Italian.

How about the Washington "White Eyes, or the Washington "Long Knifes? Injins' do not have any franchise on team names and I certainly would not be offended with either of these great nicknames, nor I doubt, would my ancestors.
