baddog Posted August 15, 2021 Report Posted August 15, 2021 I think I can safely say that PNG ain’t going to change anything. They are fighters. Quote
BMTSoulja1 Posted August 15, 2021 Author Report Posted August 15, 2021 That’s cool and all, but the CURRENT Principal Chief did NOT Give his blessings and requested that it be changed. You can clearly see here how Chief Hoskin feels about this… This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up Quote

I don’t think so. I’ve done some research. Many of the Cherokee tribe has been unhappy about this. It’s just the previous Principle Chief was a little more lenient and accepted it a little more.

Didn’t the previous chief do something like travel to PNG and present them with an official document? If so that does not sound like acceptance. That sounds more like a blessing. Secondly, I generally don’t like PNG as an arch rival of Nederland. I am not talking about the people from there. I still support 100% the naming of their mascot Indians or at their discretion something else if they wish. Next, the latest chief that overturned what the last chief did has no bearing except one man’s opinion. PNG is not called the Cherokees. They are called the Indians. The current chief of the Cherokee tribe is entitled to his opinion. The people from PNG are entitled to theirs and that includes the naming of their mascot the generic term Indian. thetragichippy 1 Quote

Key work, PREVIOUS Chief. The current one does NOT Share those sentiments. So whatever the previous chief said or did is null and voided at this point. secondly, your opinion that you’re entitled to… Next, everyone knows that the Indians that PN-G is named for are the Cherokee Indians. And the current Chief has all the bearings on this situation. To think otherwise would be insane. Just like the Cleveland baseball team, the Washington Football team, PN-G is in the same situation. It’s already known that it offends those local natives. This is an easy fix, but these people that are hellbent in ‘pride, honor, and tradition are basically contradicting themselves in this instance. Anyway, just one man’s view on this…. Well, me, the Chief, and several locals. 🤷🏾♂️ Quote
Chester86 Posted August 15, 2021 Report Posted August 15, 2021 I posted something similar on another thread, but basically stated, where does it stop? Dallas Cowboys (killed natives to settle land) Notre Dame Fighting Irish (Fighting is bullying, Irish is exclusive) Seattle Mariners (Harvesting the sea, killing sea creatures) California Angels (1 religion exclusive) On and on we could go with how these team names could offend someone. They are names that are associated with a sports team. There are so many people out there that are just looking to be offended. There are those that just want to change things because they want them changed. Americans used to be so strong, protect other nations and now we worry about names of sports teams. Quote

Otherwise you might as well shut down the forum. I don’t think the PNG people care about the Cleveland Indian‘s or anyone else. If they decide to change, great but that will be their choice, not because of political pressure in my opinion. I obviously cannot speak for the people from Port Neches and Groves but I think they would keep the name Indians merely out of anti political correctness, in your eye type of response. Maybe some people are tired of touchy-feely. BMTSoulja1 1 Quote

I just read a lengthy and interesting article about cultural appropriation. According to implications of the article, if you like Elvis Presley music, you are guilty of cultural appropriation. In fact Elvis himself is guilty. If you open a pizza restaurant and you are not from Italy or of Italian heritage, you are guilty of the same. Want to make and sell gumbo? Not so fast. Since the etymology of gumbo is believed to come from the African word for okra, unless you are Black you should not cook gumbo to sell or you are guilty of cultural appropriation. Do you like turquoise jewelry? According to the article if you buy from anyone other than a Native American, you’re guilty of cultural appropriation. Like I said, it is interesting…..

Please be mindful, I don’t take issue with it. I don’t really see a problem with it. That’s like telling a black man he can’t be a business owner, because when slaves were brought over, only white men owned businesses. Silly. Quote

Who's the author of that article? Because that's the most ridiculous logic I've heard in weeks... Quote
BS Wildcats Posted August 16, 2021 Report Posted August 16, 2021 Cherokees are based out of Tallequah(sp) Ok and Cherokee, NC. They need to worry about their own states and not Texas. Maybe they should concern themselves with dealings within the Cherokee nation. Quote

It looks like the authors and editors are a couple of Asians, maybe a couple of people for the Middle Eastern or other cultures. It looks like some think tank organization 501(c)3 and has the goal of bringing people together and other lofty ideals. Quote
Yeoj Posted August 16, 2021 Report Posted August 16, 2021 Well the easiest fix would be for PNG to call themselves the $5 Indians. It actually is historically accurate and therefore should appease everyone. This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up Mr. Buddy Garrity 1 Quote
