What it comes down to for me, is listen to the Native American population. If the majority wants it changed then do it. Politically correct white people and "traditionalists" shouldn't be the ones deciding shit like this.

Polls taken in reservations have shown that many Native Americans take issue with the name. Polls taken that ask people if they identify as Native, but don't ask for tribe affiliation, show Natives support the name. What happens is they look for people who say they are Native and use that. Many people will say, well My grandma was half Cherokee so I am Native, or I have a quarter Creek. I checked many people online about this, as you can see people's profiles on many boards. They'd type, I am Native and it doesn't offend me, I see it as honor. BUT, when I click their profile, because many boards make people use Facebook to reduce trolling, the person is white with blond hair and blue eyes. It's almost like people forget we can see their profile now. So unless a poll is done with Natives from a reservation, or registered Natives, doesn't trust it as Native American opinion. My family got tested, and it turns out I am over 50% Native American, something I already knew. But I usually disqualify myself because I have no trouble affiliation, but I have the blood to back up my shit.

I think the Indians mascot/name is way more offensive, but that's just me

none of them want to though.  maybe one or two tribes but not enough to give a fuck about.

Actually it is the tribes pushing this. Mainly Sioux and Navajo, the largest tribes in the country.
