I grew up in upstate NY and, as a kid studying the Seven Tribes of the Iroquois, I loved the Indian history of the state. I became even more interested after reading Cooper's Leatherstocking Tales. I felt real pride in the Indian names, even as a kid. I'm surprised any Indian tribe is for changing school mascots.

I was thinking more along the lines of WHITE SUPREMACISTS.
You know; just to show their team can DOMINATE all INFERIORS.
Good Lord, I always considered those names to be COMPLIMENTS!
Meanwhile, in good ol’ Southern Illinois, the name of the new Prospect League baseball team at Rent One Park in Marion, IL, will be: The Thrillville Thrillbillies.
I kid you not.
My grandmother on my father’s side and great grandfather on my mother’s side were full Cherokee...
Yes!
They are being forced to use WOKE team names like Dealers, Dream Catchers, Empty Whisky Bottles and Sclapers.
That’s an awesome list! Maybe they should do away with all the Dutch names too any name with kill (river) in it.
I thought about all the Dutch names, too, and I agree. We cannot offend the Dutch. All “kill,” Tappan Zee, Nieuw- Amsterdam.
Wait, they already got rid of Nieuw-Amsterdam. On September 8, 1664, the Dutch reign in North America ended and the English renamed Nieuw-Amsterdam New York after the Duke of York. So we don’t want to offend the Brits, so we must rename New York, too.
Here’s a partial list of Dutch heritage names they can start on:
Battery Island (a batterij or battery of cannons was once stationed here)
Bronx (New York, after Jonas Bronck)
Broadway (Manhattan, after Breede Wegh which means broad road)
Brooklyn (New York, after Breukelen)
Bushwick (Brooklyn, after Boswijk)
Coney Island (Brooklyn, after Konijneneiland which means Rabbit Island)
Cornelia Street (Manhattan, after Cornelia Herring)
Dutch Kills (Queens, any local names ending in Kill are of Dutch origin)
Dutch Street (Manhattan)
Flushing (Queens, after Vlissingen)
Gravesend (Brooklyn, after ‘s Gravesande)
Greenwich Village (Manhattan, after Grenen wijk)
Harlem (New York, after Haarlem)
Hells Gate (New York, after Helle Gadt, referring to dangerous currents in the East River)
Peekskill, spakenkill, Catskill, wallkill, plattkill, Fishkill to name a few.

Good additions. Thanks.
Imagine if the wokesters required NYS to remove all offensive Indian, Dutch and English names. What would be left?
They’d have to rename the towns with numbers. Town 001, Town 002, Town 003...
Alternate names:
Trannies
Perverts
Freaks
Radicals
Subversives
Leftards
Commies
Queers
Fudge packers
Women haters
Gaslighters
Experts
Baby killers
Gun grabbers
Beards
Basement dwellers
Liars
Cheaters
Thugs
Psychos
What about the Fighting Whities?
Pretty good John Wayne movie by that name too..........
Well Andrew cuomo tried to do away with the Tappan zee bridge but nobody calls it the Mario cuomo bridge. Only a matter of time til it’s reversed.
Really? Must be a coincidence, Pilgrim.
The Fighting Teens playing against the Looting Youths.
Yeah,,,just a coincidence.
Update...
The school’s super isn’t a profile in courage, is he.
Update...
An Upstate district just knuckled under.
Lovely lesson to teach your kids.
