Go to your local First Nation and ask people, see what kind of response you'll get LMAO!
It's doesn't matter anyway what the Natives Peoples' think, Sports team racist stereotypes only listen when sponsors speak.

all i can do is speak from my own experience of owning an embroidery company for 20 years. i have done countless jobs over the years for native sports teams and they love love LOVE using native themed logos from profession sports teams. these jobs have been for everyone from regular band members all the way up to high ranking band council members. i've actually made a point of asking them about using these "offensive" logos and the reaction is always something like a laugh followed by "we f***in' love these logos!"
now, i'm not saying that these encounters speak of all native peoples views on the matter, but in 20 years of doing work for native bands i've only met people that love the designs.
