I don't find the native community all up and arms over this, if anything it pushes there culture into the mainstream.

Here in the BCHL we have our hockey team Chilliwack Chiefs with a mascot named Chief Wannawin, right by the native reserve. There's no protest to the name if anything they go to the games and cheer on the team.
