Then there's this. Do you think this list of entire tribes and native organizations is a better representation of how native peoples feel about the name, as opposed to people called at random who may not even be Native American?
Polls targeting Native Americans
- The authors of the article concluded that "Although most Native American activists and tribal leaders consider Indian team names and mascots offensive, neither Native Americans in general nor a cross section of U.S. sports fans agree". According to the article, "There is a near total disconnect between Indian activists and the Native American population on this issue."[14]
- 80% responded that they would NOT be personally offended if a Non-Native American referred to them as a "Redskin".
- A smaller sample of 340 respondents was asked if the term "redskin" is disrespectful to Native Americans, with 73% responding "No".
