The Puzzling Case of Natives Who Favor 'Redskins' - ICTMN.com

The Puzzling Case of Natives Who Favor 'Redskins' - ICTMN.com: Another comment in the discussion seconds the notion that the critique of colonialism results from "lacking calendars on the reservation." That commenter adds, "So many bigger issues to 'debate' this truly does become laughable." The reference to "bigger issues" comes up empty, however, because none are specified and because the quotes around 'debate' indicate the commenter discounts the reality of the debate.
If the campaign against "redskins" were only a debate about a name, it would be superficial. But the name represents the surface of a whole complex of issues, all rooted in anti-Indian colonialism…a colonialism that continues to this day in the form of laws and practices enshrined in "federal Indian law."
