A tribe I can see. Redskins is a little provocative because it mentions a single color to describe a race. How about the Washington Coloreds?
It’s more ambiguous yet inclusive.

The University of North Dakota was forced to change their mascot, despite the blessing of the Sioux, who protested and appealed.

Them indians just don’t know what’s good for ‘em. They’re supposed to be offended. They actually are and are just too stupid to know it, apparently.

Most of the Native American mascots don’t bother the tribes - it’s do-gooder libs that are helping the poor, stupid redman see how they are being exploited.

Yup. As I recall, the Seminoles look at it as a show of respect. Especially since (if I remember correctly) the Seminoles never capitulated to the US gov.
