New Windsor Terrace bar drops ‘Mohawk Tavern’ {deemed offensive"
New York Daily News ^ | May 9, 2014 | NATALIE MUSUMECI

A newly opened “upstate”-themed bar in Windsor Terrace christened “Mohawk Tavern” in April has dropped the name after locals and Native Americans cried foul. “Once we heard the comments and people of Native American ancestry come in and say it was offensive, we figured it would be best to change the name out of respect for them,” said owner Paul Hamill, who will switch the pub’s name to “Adirondacks” in honor of the park and mountain range.

He should just change the name to “Pander Inn” or claim his own tribal bloodline with “Bo-hi-cah Tavern”

No. When theaters take money from the gov or have those 501 C 3s or 7s, I forget, they must do plays about Injuns. Here in the northeast we are stuck with the boring Lanapes and Piscataways. I mean, not even a Sioux or a Cheyanne or a Ward Churchill!

And then the lugubrious Indians show up to inform you that you are a bigoted whitey - and hey, is that painting on the wall in your office some put down of our fine tribal traditions???? Picasso? What phony tribe is that???

And from there, you’d rather eat glass than hang out with these people.

All things Indian should be forgotten, wiped from our societal memory. Removing any and Indian names is a good start.

While I like the idea, it would be impractical to re-name most of the cities and lakes in Wisconsin.

I’m not mocking Indians - I’m mocking ‘PC Indian Activists’... I don’t believe these ‘activists’ represent Indians any more than Black Panthers represent blacks...

I do not understand this. I thought that sports teams, school mascots and places like this were honoring the American Indians by naming themselves after them. Could it be that our Native American brothers are “low information” folks, or is it just me?

Some libtard told these American Indians that they were being insulted by these names and they took it to heart.

My husband graduated from Lamar Highschool in Houston in 1954. He was proudly a Lamar Redskin until a couple of months ago.

I was being a little sarcastic. Of course it’s impractical, the Indian culture and names comprise much of our own culture.

I’m just reacting to all these Indian activists. If they want to be forgotten, then let’s accommodate them.

They need us. We don’t need them.
