PETITION UPDATE​

Poll data​

Daniel Fazzolare
United States
AUG 19, 2023 —

Several independent, scientific polls about the Redskins name have been conducted. In separate studies, both Annenberg and the Washington Post found that 90% of Native Americans had no problem with the Redskins name. They found that just 9% were opposed to it, and 1% had no opinion. In another poll, The Post found that “pride” was the word that came to mind most for Native Americans when it came to the Redskins name.
Several high schools across America, whose students are almost entirely Native American, have chosen Redskins as the name of their teams. These include Red Mesa High School in Arizona and Wellpinit High School in Washington, to name a few. When some of these schools put retention of the Redskins name up to a vote, they have chosen to keep it, every time, in a landslide.
Despite nefarious attempts to sully these polls by some individuals intent on eradicating native names and imagery, the fact is both polling institutions are among the most-respected in the world and followed precise polling science. The Washington Post interviewed 15,000 people to find 504 Native Americans in 4 months, with a 5.5% margin of error. Annenberg interviewed 65,000 people to find 768 Native Americans, with a 2% margin of error. Not until individuals identified as Native American were they asked about the Redskins.
While we kindly acknowledge that a small minority do not support the Redskins name, we believe a lack of education on the matter is at least partially to blame. It is understandable that some have taken this position, given that traditional media rarely, if ever disseminates facts regarding the name, its origins, and sentiment within the Native American community.Regardless, it is nearly impossible to find 100% consensus on anything.
“Redskins” is a warrior-class identifier created by Native Americans themselves. It is specific to red-painted native warriors renowned for their bravery, skill and fighting spirit. Redskins is derived from Native Americans’ use of the blood root plant and dye as ceremonial preparation for war. Redskin tribes used it to cover their shaven heads, arms, torsos, and legs. They believed this color would protect them like a spiritual suit of armor, and that they had made a connection with their war spirits who would guide them and provide strength and courage. Red symbolized energy and power.
During a certain period in history, the word "redskin" was hijacked and used pejoratively. But like many other formerly pejorative terms, it has long since been recovered and elevated to a term of respect, admiration, and reverence.
The name Redskins was chosen in 1933 to honor Native Americans in general, including a coach and four players on the team who were Native American. In 1971, Coach George Allen consulted with the Red Cloud Indian Fund on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation about logo design. It was a Native American, Blackie Wetzel, who persuaded then-owner Jack Kent Cooke to honor Native Americans with a logo based on the likeness of Blackfeet Chief John Two Guns White Calf.
To discard the Redskins name and imagery is to further eradicate any relic of Native American existence. It is a gross double-standard in relation to other groups who were allowed to elevate terms once derogatory to them; terms with pejorative origins, unlike the “Redskins” moniker and its hallowed, Native American roots.
The word "Yankee" has pejorative origins, but no longer.
The name United ***** College Fund is now accepted.
The NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) is accepted today.
The LGBTQ community have reclaimed the words "gay" and "queer." Their use is no longer derogatory.
The term "cowboys," which once comprised slaves that managed cattle, is now revered.
Why then do these groups have the right to elevate names originally derogatory to them, while the overwhelming majority sentiment of Native Americans cannot be respected - despite the Redskins name having positive roots and actually originating from Native Americans themselves - unlike the examples above?
And then there are nicknames like Fighting Irish, whose logo is a leprechaun with its fists raised. The Minnesota Vikings logo is a generic caricature of a Scandinavian, a false depiction of Vikings as they did not actually wear horned helmets. The Redskins logo, on the other hand, was meticulously selected and designed by actual Native Americans, to say nothing of changing the name of the franchise to a military rank partially responsible for carrying out the genocide of Native Americans.
