“Today’s announcement represents a monumental step forward in INDIAN Country’s decades-long effort to educate America about what respect for tribal nations, cultures, and communities entails, and how sports mascots like the ‘Indians’ prevent our fellow Americans from understanding and valuing who Native people are today, what makes us unique, and the many contributions we make to this country,”

That should quell any general notions about the Native American response or preference.

I'm going to post the NCAI's description for their organization again as well:

The National Congress of American INDIANS, founded in 1944, is the oldest, largest and most representative American INDIAN and Alaska Native organization serving the broad interests of tribal governments and communities.

Don't they know Indians are from India?

Might there be anything else of interest there?

The fact some can use the name "Indian" without criticism for doing so, and some cannot.

If they take offense at Wahoo Sam, that's a whole different discussion.
