Haven’t had a decent Cherokee since they canned the XJ in 2001.

puhleeeeeeeze don’t tell me about your Grand Cherokee, it ain’t the same thing.

The Technology Transfer sourced Chinese Qishsi is a ghosted replica of the iron-clad Cherokee Sport.

All indian names should be removed. Cars, cities, states, street names, sports teams, etc. Completely erase them.

Or offer them a royalty.

One way or another they need to stfu

" since Jeep started using the name in North America in 2013 after a 12-year hiatus."

Author needs to do more research. There's been a Jeep Cherokee in North America for decades and it sure as heck didn't go away in 2001.

I used to think of the American Indian as a fierce warrior, a proud nation of people that were to be respected.

It seems they mostly belong to the Snowflake tribe now.

Absolutely. I asked an asian indian friend about this and she agrees wholeheartedly.

To: Repeal The 17th

“The people of the “Cherokee” tribe were given that name by the neighboring “Creek” tribe,
and it meant “people with another language” in Creek.”

My mother said that I had a Creek great grandfather. I read some place that the Creeks were more amenable to coexist with the whites than the Cherokee. Don’t have any proof of either remarks. Makes me feel like Pokahontos. Can’t prove I’m part Indian. Ha.

Next they’ll sue every vehicle manufacturer who calls it anything except a “motor”.

Instead of Cherokee they should call them Crackers since whites are the only ones on planet earth that will not complain that something is named after them.
