The Atlanta Braves have a relationship with the Eastern Band of Cherokee in North Carolina.

Just like FSU has a relationship with the Seminole Nation of Florida. Real indians have no problem with the chop.
Nice, thanks!
I have grown up among the Cherokee here in N. Ga (and am 1/16 Cherokee myself), and my best friend growing up was Ute. I can tell you that in my decades as a Braves fan and being among Native Americans, this is NOT an issue. Every Indian I know personally here in GA is a Braves fan 🙂
