1. um Wow (N/T)

[classof56]

2. Wow. Just wow.

This message gave me chills, preceded by a sense of pride felt by our first citizens, and regret for how they have been treated. I hope millions of watchers understand the meaning of these words and act upon them.

Blessings.

6. had to give something

for this lump in my throat. since Crazy Horse was shown and mentioned. I donated without wanting anything around $45 for it. they are also in fairly line of site of the XL pipeline so coupled with that I saw this and reduced to tears .... a mix of Joy, Proud and sadness. I'm a drop they say some tribes this means more than others. Mom's part. can't say what tribe. Probably southern. But I prefer to stick with Lakota. can't say why. something inside tells me I should

[calimary]

[RebelOne]

4. Wow, wow and wow. Just fantastic.

I collect Native American art and have a big poster of Chief Joseph of the Nez Perce tribe on my living room wall. His photo was shown, but he was only identified as Chief.

9. I say the washington team change its name to

"We're sorry" for the next year.
After that, negotiate with whatever First Nation's people who will license you, their name.

10. The previous article at thinkprogress had an interesting backstory

http://thinkprogress.org/alyssa/2014/01/30/3226211/redskins-roster-republican-advisers-matters/

This issue is a great example of the right doubling down on every issue. Perhaps the name change will help to bring the right down that much farther.

[gopiscrap]

11. That is good!

[Titonwan]

12. Hell yeah.

You know I had to reply to this.

[mtasselin]

[niyad]

15. who was that clueless cretin this morning who said that "redskins" was actually honouring

native americans??? I just wondered how many times he had been hit in the head.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

22. With a tomahawk all it takes is ONCE.

[GeoWilliam750]

DURec!

[greiner3]

20. I thought the term Sioux was not a very good word to call a Native American.

I read that the correct terms were either;

Santee, the Yankton-Yanktonai, and the Lakota.

[peoli]

23. This is beyond powerful....

[txwhitedove]

24. Adding another WOW and thanks. Proud of my share of Cherokee blood from grandfather.

[Behind the Aegis]

25. Incredible.

I was surprised the Cherokee weren't mentioned though. It is amazing that some can't understand why "Redskins" is offensive.

[LiberalLovinLug]

27. Very good ad

but I would have liked to hear Peltier's name.

[underpants]
