Donald Trumps Use of Pocahontas Has Native Americans Worried
Alan Rappeport
Donald J. Trump is heading west this weekend for rallies in Las Vegas and Phoenix and a fund-raiser at Barry M. Goldwaters old estate, known as Be-nun-i-kin, Navajo for house on top of the hill.
But it is the prospect of Mr. Trumps gathering with members of the Navajo Nation that is creating the most intrigue around the trip of the presumptive Republican presidential nominee.
His repeated use of the name Pocahontas to deride Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, has stirred a debate among Native Americans about how they should deal with Mr. Trump. Some Navajos are questioning whether the meeting, which is still in the works, should even take place.
For many, his mention of the historical figure is offensive and a sign that Mr. Trump, who has been accused of being anti-immigrant, also has problems with the people who first inhabited the country.

No, it doesn’t.
If they don’t care about the Redskins they don’t care about this.
Amazing. That’s small potatoes compared to what the media will say. The rest is coming and they won’t let Pocahontas get by.
OK, call her Bat Sh*t Crazy-Flower.
Worried about what, the continued existence of their casino racket?
Meaning a couple of Democrat party hacks addicted to taxpayer dollars.
I like using Liarwatha(in speech) or Fauxahontis(in print)
The media will never let Trump win. They will do whatever it takes. They still wield a lot of power.
I use liawatha. Drop the r
Sound better?
How many times have people been called “Einstein” when they thought they knew it all?
Millions.
Much ado about nothing.
.
Maybe he should call her: Sack-of Bull Shitta.
Trump has already apologized to Pocahontas for comparing her to goofy elizabeth.
ROFLMAO!!!!
Native Americans are also boycotting the Redskins games because they are offended by the name. (WRONG - They aren’t offended).
What the NYT meant was, “We wish Native Americans would be worried because Trump referenced anything about Native Americans.”
Sacagawacko.
Well they tried like hell to keep Reagan from winning, and failed. And that was back when they had more power than they do now b/c there was no alternative media.
“For many, his mention of the historical figure is offensive and a sign that Mr. Trump, who has been accused of being anti-immigrant, also has problems with the people who first inhabited the country.”
Then they’re sub-morons, so who gives a damn if they’re offended or not.
Why didn’t he call her by her correct name: Fauxcahontas?
