When I went to college (Seattle University), the school’s nickname was the Chieftains, which was neither offensive nor necessarily exclusively applicable to Native Americans, e.g., Scottish chieftains. Nonetheless, it was changed to Red Hawks. (Funny how even with their PC motive, the word “red” became part of the new nickname.)

Speaking of which
The hood ornament on a 1951 Pontiac CHIEFTAN. To add insult to injury it glows a BRIGHT RED when the headlights are turned on. I demand every postwar Pontiac still on the road be crushed and GM immediately issue an apology and and commit to ending bigotry and blah blah blah I'M OFFENDED!!
