Most Natives are more concerned with good healthcare, not having to live below the poverty line, things like that...

 
My wild guess, majority of native america people will be proud of Redskins motto.

How about Atlanta Braves? FSU Seminoles? Illinois Illini? Cleveland Indians? My HS nickname was Sioux Falls Warriors.

Used to be Stanford and Arkansas State nicknames was Indians.


I'm not Native American, but my understanding is that while all of the names you listed are native mascots, none of them are racial epitaphs.
