This won’t hurt Trump. Snowflakes already hated him, and everyone else will just shake their head at PC run amuck.
That A-hole sheds another fake tear? Most tribal Indians are the least concerned of anyone about the environment and wildlife - except in how much money they can get from them to by liquor and drugs.
Too many chiefs.
Liawatha’s Cultural Appropriation is rascist, self serving, etc, etc etc...
She is a loud mouth, who speaks in boring Pedantic as well...
Treaty tribal members (those in the upper ruling families and not consumed by liquor and drugs) are all Democrats and very political, seeking always the advantage over naive city dwellers all to ready to believe they are somehow special as in Special Masters with more rights than any one else.
The actual guy being honored wasn't offended, but now the "leaders" are?
Got it.

Could you go more in depth on that since they were on near-opposite ends of the continent? Was this after the "Trail of Tears"?
idiots, protecting a fake Indian. Then what did a Navajo bave to do with Pocahontas anyway?
Why would you say this?
Where is the OUTRAGE concerning the FAUX INDIAN?
Could be that they are always looking to increase their share from the Bureau of Indian Affairs???
Look at Arizona’s electoral map. The najavo nation is always a blue stain.
These grifters just want more free stuff from the government, the perfect example of the pernicious effects of welfare on a population.
Pocahontas was the daughter of Powhatan, paramount chief of Tsenacommacah, an alliance of about thirty Algonquian-speaking groups and petty chiefdoms in Tidewater, Virginia.
Anybody see Navajo in there any where?
She’s a delegate among many and hardly speaks for everybody. The title by the corrupt and biased media is misleading.
Per Wiki:
In July 2015, the Pamunkey Indian Tribe, descendants of the Powhatan chiefdom, of which Pocahontas was a member, became the first federally recognized tribe in the state of Virginia.
Pocahontas was the daughter of Powhatan, the paramount chief[2] of a network of tributary tribal nations in the Tsenacommacah, encompassing the Tidewater region of Virginia. In a well-known historical anecdote, she is said to have saved the life of a captive of the Native Americans, the Englishman John Smith, in 1607 by placing her head upon his own when her father raised his war club to execute him. Some historians have suggested that this story, as told by Smith, is untrue.[5]
Pocahontas was captured and held for ransom by the English during Anglo-Indian hostilities in 1613. During her captivity, she converted to Christianity and took the name Rebecca. When the opportunity arose for her to return to her people, she chose to remain with the English. In April 1614, at the age of 17, she married tobacco planter John Rolfe, and in January 1615, bore their son, Thomas Rolfe.[1]
In 1616, the Rolfes traveled to London. Pocahontas was presented to English society as an example of the “civilized savage” in hopes of stimulating investment in the Jamestown settlement. She became something of a celebrity, was elegantly fêted, and attended a masque at Whitehall Palace. In 1617, the Rolfes set sail for Virginia, but Pocahontas died at Gravesend of unknown causes, aged around 20-21. She was buried in St George’s Church, Gravesend in England, but the exact location of her grave is unknown, as the church has been rebuilt.[1]
Numerous places, landmarks, and products in the United States have been named after Pocahontas. Her story has been romanticized over the years, and she is a subject of art, literature, and film. Many famous people have claimed to be among her descendants through her son Thomas, including members of the First Families of Virginia, First Lady Edith Wilson, American Western actor Glenn Strange, Las Vegas performer Wayne Newton, and astronomer Percival Lowell.[6]

She was not of their tribe....
It costs a lot to maintain our Indians and other disaffected minorities in poverty and misery.
Couldn’t get past the first sentence before squatting and dropping the first lie.
In the early years of the distribution of tribes across the land, each nation was at war with each other. Boundaries were strictly observed where skirmishes were commonplace. Continuous warfare, however, made territory fungible. Whole nations were driven out of areas and forced to travel a “Trail of Tears” in search of uncontested land.
By the time settlers began arriving so called native nations had been decimated by disease, warfare, and slash and burn environmental disasters. As a result they posed little real treat to early European settlers.
It has only been in the 20 century with the support of Western culture that populations of early native people have rebounded and exceeded all earlier numbers. There are larger numbers of early native people on this continent today than ever existed.
