Native people are Canadian, so are French, British, Acadian and Metis people. A couple of those groups have seen their share of oppression/subjectation.


Either way, you kind of cherry picked one sentence that wasn't really my point. My point is if the name opens up the logo to be racist, it should probably be changed. But the logo itself, what else is a designer supposed to do when tasked with making a cartoon Native person? If you changed the Indians' logo to a feather or a tomahak (both of which I beleive they use as well), it's still racist. So just change the name - especially since it's not even a real name anyways.

If they were the Indians' and had a guy with meditating with a dot on his head as the logo, it would still be racist, if not moreso.
