This is a parallel to the American first nations that commonly had slaves and remnants exist in their culture. There are not a lot of hereditary chiefs who did not have slaves a few generations ago and no hereditary chiefs from the defeated tribes. The invasion of Canadians stopped that practice.
When Calgary took over the Flames the team and kept the name because it fit in with the Gas Flares. Try selling the acceptability of celebrating Gas flares with your social justice warrior...
