Rename it after their enemies then: the Sioux or the Iroquois for example.
Similar to Asimov's Foundation stories where his characters implement Hari Seldon's plan that ushers in only a thousand years of decadence and decay instead of the thirty thousand years of dark ages as predicted by his "Psychohistory" that would occur naturally.
Or maybe just Biblical fulfillment?
Middle of last week, north Texas, driving down a small back road barely wide enough for two opposing vehicles to pass. I came across what I initially took to be some kind of economy car in the ditch. I got out to help because it was brutally cold and I didn’t want to leave anyone stranded.
I approached the vehicle and noticed, to my surprise, a 4WD emblem and the name Jeep on it. It turned out to be something called a Jeep Renegade.
I thought maybe I could get the tow strap and pull the guy out of the ditch. No can do. There was nothing to get hold of that wouldn’t have just ripped away from the vehicle. I offered to take him home. He told me he had called roadside assistance and would just wait. He said I didn’t need to hang around and thanked me for stopping.
I live only a quarter mile up the road, but he wanted to wait for roadside assistance. I went back an hour later to find the vehicle gone.
It’s time to get rid of the whole “reservation” thing.
“Actually, there is an Eastern Cherokee nation that is not affiliated with the Oklahoma Cherokee tribe. Their ancestors lived in the Smokey Mountains and were not rounded up and force marched to Oklahoma on “The Trail of Tears.””
I have ancestry from this group that stayed in Tennessee.
There are at least three Cherokee organizations.
I can understand why a Cherokee would be offended by the current model. Not a fan at all.
When I was a boy, my parents bought the older version of the Cherokee the last year they were made by AMC (1987?). I loved that car and was starting to learn to drive it when my parents needed the cash and had to sell it:( I’ve always wanted to collect a classic AMC/Rambler ever since.
As a grown up, the only car I’ve ever regretted selling was my Dodge Nitro (pretty much a Jeep Liberty or Cherokee outside of US). We have a Grand Cherokee, which my wife loves, but is Fiat Stellantis junk. I’ve had to replace the heating core twice and the power liftgate stopped working after only two years. Yes, the Cherokee Nation should be honored by the AMC version, but understandably offended by the one made by Stellantis.
They should replace the names with "butthurt". Butthurt, Alabama; Butthurt Junction, Colorado; Butthurt Freightliner; Butthurt, Oklahoma (there are going to be some problems with a state having several cities named after Indians so there will have to be First butthurt, second butthurt etc.) Pueblo will just have to be Butthurt for each state.
One day a white jeep Cherokee pulled into a parking space next to me. I almost said, "Oh I see you have the Elizabeh Warren model Jeep, but I decided to keep my mouth shut, as you never here in Mass. when a liberal is going to act crazy. -Tom
Chief Needabuck is just looking for a cash payout. My response would be: F—K YOU.
Some of my ancestors were butchered by indians in the early 1600s, in New England. They were on their way to church. I can call those savages anything I want, and I can use their name to describe dog poo.
The best thing that ever happened to the U.S.A. was when the indians sided with the Brits in the Revolutionary war, and afterwards, fled to Canada with all the loser “loyalists”. Almost every other country in this hemisphere is burdened by a high percentage of indigenous blood.
Sounds like a NAALCP style shakedown, give us money and we stop bugging you.
Good thing the PONTIAC is no longer made.
If this keeps up soon it will be illegal for paratroopers to yell “GERONEMO!” when leaping out of planes. Unless they are referring to St Jerome.
When players kneel to disrespect the Anthem and Flag turn your back on them to disrespect them.
How much $$$ do they want ?
(I had to look that one up! I found some videos out there on youtube about "Eugene the Jeep", including this one: "Popeye The Sailor # 91 Popeye Presents Eugene the Jeep".)
Why has “Chief Hoskins” appropriated a White surname? Why do some “native Americans” misappropriate animal names, such as Red Deer, Sitting Bull or Running Bear? They must cease and desist and change their names.
Seems like a lot of cars have Indian names. If they have trademark or similar, pay them royalties. Make a deal.
And all of the counties in the South called “Cherokee County”?
wasnt there a comanche truck built by someone?
this crap is so sickening, it all just needs to end
america is not and never was a place free from being offended
they dont own the word cherokee
everyone on the planet can use the word cherokee
