Maybe Chief Hoskins should study the history...

“Cherokee” is NOT the name of the tribe...The name is “Tsalagi” or an even older name, “Ani Yun Wiya”...

Very close...”Tsalagi” (Chu-La-Gee) was given by the Creek tribe...The even older tribal name is “Ani Yun Wiya”...

The white man bastardized “Tsalagi” into “Cherokee”....

Casinos NEVER should have happened.

Why not?

Can they not put them on their OWN land?

Or does New Joisey and lots'o Vegas get them all?

You'd be lost without us.

The University of Utah uses the nickname "Utes" with the support of the Ute Indian Tribe.

The Paiutes feel cheated.

"...so, the boss guys in Italy just need to pay up"

Even before the Italians took over Jeep, Jeep also culturally appropriated the trim level, "Rubicon," so now the Italians can pay reparations to themselves.

wasnt there a comanche truck built by someone?

Yes, Jeep. It was a pickup based on the Cherokee.
