“To be honest, you could put the blame on both teams,” Gladstone said. Said variety. “The 49ers are modeled after the California Gold Rush, which was an incredibly tough time for California Indians.”
She avoided the harshest criticism of Chiefs fans:
Then the Chiefs. There are many ways to interpret the name “Chief”.it’s not just Interesting name. I hear the sound of a tomahawk chop. Every time, it’s a stark reminder of what Hollywood has been doing to us. Because the tomahawk chop is directly tied to the sound of old western movies where we weren’t playing ourselves or we were just background actors. It’s about “claiming” that sound and saying it’s for “honour” and it’s a commodification of us as humans. It’s great to love the game and the players, but it still hurts.
Ahead of last week’s Super Bowl game, a group of Native American activists renewed their calls for the Chiefs to drop not only the name “Chiefs” but also the tomahawk chop.
