Translation- want much wampum for use of name or get heap big lawsuit.
Thank GOD I got a Comanche before things got any sillier.
Probably frequent casino visits would suffice in honoring them. There are at least 5 within a short drive from me with 3 different tribes.
Don’t tell that to big Chief Melts In Sun.
Rename the to Navajo or Hopi, and tell the Cherokee that they have improved their brand.
They would have to change the names of half of the towns in Wisconsin.
Chicago should be changed too, they should go with the anglo version, Stinky Onion.
By next year, the big race here will be called the
FLATLAND 500.
So I guess they want us to abolish any hint of Native American culture, right?
How about we stop naming anything after tribes and take down all statues to your ancestors? Chief.
But this stupid son of a bitch doesn’t realize that the naming of things after indians is a tribute. Next thing you now idiot democrats like this will be complaining that they are being ignored.
When I was a kid growing up in Cleveland in the 50s, everybody knew that the team was named after their one time star player, Louis Sockalexis.
True that!
My heritage is Scotch/Irish. None of my family wore green suits and generally were not ready to fight at the drop of a hat.

Paul Revere & The Raiders - Indian Reservation:
John D. Loudermilk: The Story Behind “Indian Reservation” on the “Viva! NashVegas® Radio Show”
A well-known story surrounding one of Loudermilk’s songs is that, when he was asked by the Viva! NashVegas radio show about the origins of the Raiders’ hit song “Indian Reservation,” he fabricated the story that he wrote the song after his car was snowed in by a blizzard and he was taken in by Cherokee Indians. A self-professed prankster, he spun the tale that a Cherokee chieftain, “Bloody Bear Tooth” asked him to make a song about his people’s plight and the Trail of Tears, even going so far as to claim that he had later been awarded “the first medal of the Cherokee Nation”, not for writing the song, but for his “blood”; further fabricating that his “great-great grandparents, Homer and Matilda Loudermilk” were listed on the Dawes Rolls. Had this tall tale been true, he would have been a citizen of the Cherokee Nation, which he was not.
John Loudermilk also wrote Tobacco Road
