While it really seems like only a small fraction of Native Americans had a problem with the name, I think the Indians were due to change their name. Indian is such an antiquated name for Native Americans anyway.
I would’ve preferred Rockers, Rollers, Foresters, Buckeyes, or even Lakers, but Guardians is fine. Gets a 7/10 from me. Could always shorten the name to G’s. Cleveland G’s has a nice ring to it.
Throughout Heaven and Earth, I alone am the honored one. -

The Indians call themselves Indians so I am OK with that. Just not for a sports team.
This is one of those usual cases where guilt ridden, PC white liberal Nazis are dictating to the rest of us on what to call a race that doesn't really care what they are called. -

And yet there are those who disagree and have no problem being referred to as Indian.
I am going to listen to them and not what the whites think they are supposed to be called.
That sad part of this entire fiasco is that so many of the so-called "elitist Indians" have allowed themselves to be bullied into using the name "Native Americans" and even "Native" by a white media that seems to have set the agenda for what we should be called.
One elderly Lakota man from the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation said recently, "If some Indians want to be called Native Americans or Natives, let them be called that, but I was born an Indian and I shall die an Indian.
So if you travel to any Indian reservation out west you will soon discover that nearly all of the indigenous people refer to themselves as "Indian," especially the elders who are still fluent in their Indian language. As Chief Oliver Red Cloud said a few years before he died, "I am Lakota and I am Indian."
As an Indian newspaper we must be very careful that what we call ourselves is not dictated to us by the white media. We have been Indians for a few hundred years and the name carries our history. Crazy Horse, Sitting Bull and Little Wound (Read their quotes) all called themselves "Indian" and they said it with pride. Should we dishonor them by saying they were wrong?
Political correctness be damned: We will use "Indian" if and when we choose. We will not be intimidated by the politically correct bunch or the white media.
