Redskins today is a slur. Indian today is a slur. But at the time I don't think you can argue any other way than it was a misguided sense of tribute.

This is patently false. This part is factually wrong.
Redskins is a slur OUT of context. It is a slur no matter what, because that's the definition of the word.
Indian and chief and brave can be slurs IN context. But that is true of almost any noun.
