It doesn't help out cause much, when you have Native people across the country wearing Redskin hats, jackets, and apparel, and saying it doesn't bother them. The point needs to be made about why its a problem, and provide direct references to where the name was derived from, and the context it has been used in, specifically with how this government used the name to classify Native peoples historically, and reference us in policies or assimilation, decimation, and genocide… As a Blackfoot Native, the name, to me, is a direct reference to these such things.
