The Redskin name has no negative impact upon me whatever.</i>"<br /><br />Three of my grandparents were part Indian (Cherokee on my father's (*) side and I think Miami on my mother's), and my ancestry works out to about 1/4 Indian (**) ... and what offends me is not Cowboy and Indian movies, nor sports teams named after Indian tribes, nor depictions of Indians as savages (for, after all, we were), but the <i>dehumanizing</i> lies that pretend we were innocent little nature-cildren.<br /><br /><br />(*) I'm related to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nancy_Ward" rel="nofollow">this woman</a>, via her second husband and possibly her father, and she was a cousin to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sequoyah" rel="nofollow">this man</a>.<br /><br />(**) At the same time, it's bound to be less. For example, my mother's grandmother was said to be "full-blooded Indian", but by then, most if not all "full-blooded Indians" left in Indiana had white ancestors. I think what the phrase really means is that her family were recognized by their neighbors as being Indians, and she married outside "the tribe".Ilíonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15339406092961816142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2269573587631126943.post-59599594529167389282014-07-06T04:54:13.005-07:002014-07-06T04:54:13.005-07:00Follow your own advice, and do some research:

Believe in the propaganda BS the Redskins organization spreads at your own peril.<br /><br />"The fact that we have in our head coach, Lone Star Dietz, an Indian, together with several Indian players, has not, as may be suspected, inspired me to select the name Redskins,” Marshall said in the AP report.
