What's wrong with honoring native Americans in a logo? It seems anti native to delete her from their logo.

Yup. American Indians were recognized pretty honorably. The Braves. The Black Hawks hockey team. Pretty much all U.S. Army helos: Black Hawks, Iroquoi (the Huey), Apache, Kiowas, etc.

William Tecumseh Sherman would get driven from the army today. Reeeeeeee cultural appropriation. His parents clearly respected the brilliance of Tecumseh.

Sherman was born less than 7 years after Tecumseh's death.

SJWs will bitch and whine about anything. They won't lift a finger to do anything productive or useful but they will expend plenty of time and effort on ridiculous bullshit like this.

Because if you're white and feature content and characters of another race, you're being racist.

Also, if you feature content and characters who are white, you're a supremacist who needs to include more racial diversity in your products.

socialists have to erase history in order to gain totalitarian control. Becuase they have not integrity

You see integrity is making a statue of your civil wars and your mistakes, not to celebrate them but to warn future people of your mistakes

I believe the modern logo with the Indian was made by an Ojibwa artist in Minnesota where the company is from.

I was just saying this to my wife, that the PC fools were once again erasing history, and soon people will have no idea at all what a Native American is, where they came from or what they represented. Persona non Grata.

Yep. Keep banning those sports names. No more NDSU Fighting Sioux. Eventually, no one will give a damn about their history.

Mao was famous for waging war on the "four olds" with the red guard.

It's absolutely happening here, just less violent and in your face.

Funny thing also is that the majority of Native Americans prefer being called “American Indians” to “Native Americans”. The Dept of Labor did a poll and like 60% preferred Indian.

My grand father, who was a native preferred to be called by his nation, Comanche. I remember one time I asked him if he was really and Indian, and he said, Indians are from India, I am a Comanche. Also found out after he died that he was only like 1/4 Comanche but he milked the hell out of it because he thought it was cool and he used the persona in WWII, so it stuck.

I would take pride in that too, the Comanche were bad motherfuckers. If Lizzie Warren can claim 1/1024, your Grandpa was a Comanche.

Friendly_B 3 points ago +3 / -0

That's Comanche. If I'm Scot, Irish, Dutch and German, then any of those can be said on their own too, right? "Oh I'm Irish too."

When I travel to local reservations, they locals call themselves by their tribe.

Like most people on this planet.

They also say "the rez" to refer to where they live.

Grady_Wilson 5 points ago +5 / -0

If you're going to use a generalized term, I prefer American Indian, because the American comes first.

And not a single fellow Indian I've every talked to had an issue with the original Land O Lakes logo.

Not one.

It's just like how "Oriental" was declared offensive.... but no one noticed all the Asian American owned businesses that have "Oriental" in the names and descriptions.

All the ones I've ever met have referred to themselves as Indians.

Mitschu 2 points ago +4 / -2

It varies, but most tribal nation members prefer to be called by their name. Cherokee, Mohawk, Seminole, Apache, etc.

I had a roommate who explained it to me like this: "Calling us Indians is an honest mistake. Calling us Americans is an intentional insult."

The Indians weren't native.

They were never native Americans.

Theres European bones and DNA and viking remains older than the asiatic tribes who migrated here and were labeled native Americans.

I'm pretty sure that there are human remains on the West coast of the US that are older than any boats ever recorded as being built in Europe. The Pacific Islanders and Asians had simple coastal boats ten thousand years before the Roman Empire.

https://www.livescience.com/america-settlement-was-by-boat.html

Rosewolf2 2 points ago +5 / -3

And Greeks had boats before either of them and existed prior.

Your article is misleading and leaves out other european centric and ethnic nations who existed way before rome.

Not to mention it completely ignored the fact they still arent native

If you want to be so pedantic about native people. There are no native humans anywhere except in Africa, where humanity originated.

At some point, humans crossed to the Americas. The Europeans might have crossed up to a few thousand years ago, when they had their first ships that could cross the Atlantic.

The Pacific Islanders and coastal Asians had a MUCH easier, protected route across the north Pacific.

The genetic evidence of Asian and Pacific Islander genetics in Native Americans is extremely powerful. Nearly all Native American tribes are classified as having mongoloid skull structures.

Only a few Native American tribes have European facial bone structures, and a lot of those were due to interactions with colonists after the 1500's. I believe there is evidence of genetic inbreeding of Native Americans with Vikings starting at around the time of Lief Ericson, which was long before Columbus, but at least twelve thousand years or so after the oldest documented Native American populations on the West coast of the Americas.

There are no native humans anywhere except in Africa, where humanity originated.

this is one of lies I'd say; you may observe that humans can pretty easy be categorized down to African origin, south Europe origin, Asian origin, American origin by very distinctive facial and and color differences; so distinctive in fact you can tell part of persons origination country by hair color and face shape (also have you noticed that american-Indianans, Samoan and other (so called) indigenous people share very similar facial pattern that you are likely very hard pressed to find outside of these groups and their relatively direct mixed descendants )

The differentiation of humanity into the three basic regional bone structures recognized today occurred over thousands of generations.

Before that, we were one population, originating in Africa.

There is an absurd amount of genetic data supporting this.

Uhh out of Africa is pretty much not a thing any more. You might want to pick up something written after 1970.

Farmerbob1 1 point ago +1 / -0

Really?

While Wikipedia can be rather stupidly broken with regards to social, political, or religious topics, it's pretty damn good with purely scientific information.

The 'Out of Africa' origin of the modern human is still strong, though evidence has been discovered that indicates there were several waves of emigration, and there was also apparently at least some cross breeding with other human ancestor populations that left Africa earlier.

Rosewolf2 -1 points ago +2 / -3

I'm not going to go deeper but if you think chimps (whom the same people claiming we came from Africa believe we broke away from) who have white skin evolved into black people whilst living on the same continent then changed back to white skin you're a victim of a giant agenda to make white people devalue their own true history.

There is NO undisputed factual evidence our race came from Africa. Only theory. I understand this has been drilled into your skull since we were children but it's not a fact. It's a theory.

Never forget that it's a theory. It's not a proven fact and is always pushed by the same people pushing globalism.

Farmerbob1 0 points ago +1 / -1

Genetic evidence of our origins is only considered theoretical by people with an agenda that cannot coexist with reality.

The modern form of humans developed in Africa, then spread out from there.

Other primates closely related to us did the same. There is even evidence that some of them were able to breed with us. Tibetans apparently have traces of another human subgroup's genetics, which might explain how they are a bit better adapted to high altitude living.

Fascinating stuff, genetics, but it is complicated, not uncertain.

But.... where is your article?

Someone has at least posted some verifiable facts, and you only offer your words.

You have completely ignored that you have absolutely no sources other than your internet words.

I read some articles that the American Indians are the lost tribes of Israel.

The Cherokee, as an example, and share many beliefs and customs with Jews. Belief in one creator, follow the lunar calendar, made animal sacrifices, put fringes on clothing and let the hair grow long at the sides of the face, have similar marriage laws, and tell a lot of corny dick jokes. Well not so much the last one maybe.

I have Native American blood. I do not profess to be sensitive about it, but I do admit that I have cringed a bit at some of the more offensive uses of Native American heritage in advertising.

This never bothered me. Most sports team names never bothered me. Military equipment names never bothered me.

When the names are attached to something that is respected or respectful, it's normally fine, IMHO.

When I visited Israel, I saw a political poster with a picture of an Indian on it saying: "Why don't you ask me about land for peace?"

Farmerbob1 2 points ago +2 / -0

Both sides of that particular cluster fuck have done some remarkably stupid things, though I will say I am far more sympathetic to the Israelis because they don't reward the families of suicide bombers.

Not a single person ever bought Land O Lakes butter because there was an indian (scuze me: NATIVE AMERICAN) on the box. I buy that shit when it's on sale. I prefer grass fed but, who can afford that shit? Of course, we could all just go buy a fucking COW and milk it twice a day, then, collect the cream and make our own butter.... just sayin'...
