It appears not all Native Americans were unhappy with the Washington Redskins nickname.
A Native American group filed a federal lawsuit against the Washington Commanders Monday for defamation, civil conspiracy and civil rights violations for their role in suppressing Native American history.

Brace yourself.

The Native American Guardians Association (NAGA

[...] group is looking for $1.6 million in damages and “a seat at the table to share Native American history,” NAGA’s attorney Chad LaVeglia told Fox News.
“Commanders is a fitting name for oppressors,” the suit stated.

This is where things get interesting.

The complaint also lists the National Congress of American Indians (NCAI). The NCAI was instrumental in forcing the then-Washington Redskins to change their name. But NAGA claims the NCAI contributes to a legacy of cultural oppression suffered by indigenous people.
“The name ‘Redskins’ carries deep cultural, historical, and emotional significance, honoring the bravery, resilience, and warrior spirit associated with Native American culture,” the NAGA complaint states.
The suit adds: The Redskins were “the only team in the National Football League (NFL) to honor an actual Native American.”

So in 2020, NAGA claims, the franchise didn’t just cancel the Redskins name. It also canceled the legacy of the people who inspired it. And NCAI is to thank for that. The NCAI, by the way, is funded by federal taxpayer dollars and also receives funding from George Soros’ Open Society Foundations.

Huh...

"NCAI is on a mission to eradicate Native American history. The more teams that ignorantly bend, the more power NCAI retains,” NAGA claims.
“The powerful few, do not get to have a monopoly on the narrative. They cannot eradicate Native American history from the hearts and minds of Americans.”
