- However, because you believe that SOME of the 566 tribe leaders MIGHT not care despite all 566 tribe leaders lobbying in Washington WITHOUT being forced to go, then the whole thing couldn't possibly represent how Native Americans feel better than a poll taken a decade ago where all people had to do was say they identified with "Indian"? (You're right, I didn't give the poll credit, instead of making no effort to poll Native Americans, they just required people identify with "Indian", the minimum amount of effort, I apologise).
A poll that represent 768 people a decade ago vs. NCAI (where every tribe and individual Indian gets a vote); the Cherokee, Oneida, Comanche, and Seminole tribes; all together representing over 1.2 million Native Americans of today... and you're going with the poll.
Sweet bro. Good chat then I guess.

Sorry I missed the poll where it says how many of the 566 Leaders support the name change, could you repost it with the question specifically asking that? If not, could you show me a poll of the 1.2 million Natives asking said question? I'll wait patiently
