I dont have a number, but not all NA's are opposing the redskins name.
I'm not sure what reservations really mean b/c it seems to be out of US legal jurisdiction- or at least they have certain rights to their areas, so....they aren't really apart of the US in my political view.
It really seems like just a couple hundred to a few thousand NA's in all of America could have an issue. Democracy protects us from the opinion of a few vs. millions.
I'm no longer concerned this debate gains momentum b/c it's not important. |
This is so scary. Is this how majorities think? If there are 2 Native Americans and they're offended than it's a problem.
