I say it depends how it's done.
If Natives and Natives representative are included in the discussion and the choice of the name, and have a say in how they want to be represented and supported, one would say a community would appreciate the
legit support of a big organisation having millions of fans.
I think the name change is also a consequence of not living up to the responsibility of representing and supporting the community you're branding.
