Cherokee Nation Principal Chief Chuck Hoskin, Jr. believes that Jeep should cease using the tribe’s name for vehicles.
“I think we’re in a day and age in this country where it’s time for both corporations and team sports to retire the use of Native American names, images and mascots from their products, team jerseys and sports in general,” Hoskin said in a written statement to Car and Driver.
“I’m sure this comes from a place that is well-intended, but it does not honor us by having our name plastered on the side of a car,” Hoskin said in the statement. “The best way to honor us is to learn about our sovereign government, our role in this country, our history, culture, and language and have meaningful dialogue with federally recognized tribes on cultural appropriateness.”
I agree, because I’m tired of hearing the whining about it.
Does this Chief not know that the Democrats want NO MORE HISTORY in our country. I would think they would be honored or is it just him?
This shhhht is going to go on until the Democrats are Removed from office !!!!
When Trump was in , None of this shhhht every day every week !!!! With Biden it is ALL the time !!!
The Cherokee Nation should be happy to see Cherokee name on American vehicles or anywhere else because if the Dems have their way their will be no mention of any Indian Tribe because they are trying to wipe away all history. This is petty and I hope he doesn’t represent all Cherokees.
I’m sure they’ll give in to him. I just can’t believe how one person can get so many changes made in this country!
Crybabies can all go to hell !!!! America don’t have to put up ANY of the bullshhht !!!!! Like it or LEAVE
He’s not bright enough to be chief.
There is very little natural interest in the general population about the Indians except from some of the Indians.
We have Indian names all over the place for states, counties, cities, rivers, colleges, school districts, teams, and products. Almost without exception cast in positive or neutral tones. Every time something is disnamed for PC reasons a chunk of latent memory of and about the Indians disappears, too. And the rationale for treaties and special set-asides for Indians diminishes, too.
Be careful what you wish for; you might get it, and Poof all mention of your existence is scrubbed.
