This was the response from the National Congress of American Indians:

“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,”
Will the National Congress of American Indians be changing their name?

After all, Indians are from India.

That idea is not incorrect. Historically speaking, Columbus thought he was in India when he discovered what are now known as Native Americans. But it's really not an argument that is necessary to oppose.

If your name is Ed and I insist on calling you Dave, won't it rub you the wrong way?

And then name a baseball team the Daves.

Would people be offended if they renamed them the Cleveland Buckeyes?

They'd probably have to sort it out with the Ohio State Buckeyes.

I don't need to get points here. I have a 23 year old adopted son who is Kiowa. He has a good relationship with his biological family and we talk often. I get the points from the source.
