Hello everybody (once more!)
             As Carol has picked up the subject, I thought that perhaps
Wayne would not mind me putting my few cents in.  As to the issue of
Native American names:  please refer to tribes as NATIONS.  There is
no such thing as a North American tribe.  It is called a nation.  For
example:  the Iroquois Nation, the Hopi Nation, the Cree nation, etc.
I am currently taking a class entitled "Native American Religion", and
I am part Native American with Shawnee ancestors.  The nations have
their own laws, religions, & culture; they are legally seperate nations
within the United States.  These are some of the reasons that Native
Americans take offence to nicknames of sports team.  Although the teams
took the nicknames in an innocent fashion, sometimes the practice
of such nicknames in logo merchandising and by fans (i.e. tomahawk chop)
perpetuates negative stereotypes.  I, myself, have no problem with the
Chicago Blackhawks logo.  I think that it is not insulting or
derogatory.  I happen to think that the Chicago fans and the hockey team
itself are intelligent enough not to insult Native Americans.  But
unfortunately there are some sports, unlike hockey, such as baseball and
football whose fans and teams take pride in degrading Native Americans
via their mascots, nicknames, and logos.  I wonder what Joe Juneau's
opinion is about on this discussion:  isn't he a member of the
Cree nation?  Has anybody asked him?
