Many raise your voice Across the country, as liberals force cities to remove Native American names from geographic locations, street signs, schools, and sports teams, and as the Boy Scouts begin to eliminate their long-standing ties to Native Americans, It opposes the woke leftists who are working to eliminate indigenous heritage.

Maurice the Native Patriot (@lanativepatriot), a Swinomish Indian from Washington state, said, “This is a wake-up call that is going to destroy everything by saying we need to divide Native Americans and Americans.” It’s a firing squad,” he told Fox News.
“It has become commonplace to think that even looking at images of Native Americans is racist,” he added.
In another post, Morris accused the left of “you actively trying to destroy America’s history and using Native Americans as sacrificial pawns to gain notoriety.” He added, “All I see is that you are destroying, erasing, and forgetting Native Americans and their role in American history.”
To the woke mob trying to cancel the Chiefs name and tomahawk chop. It’s time to get a grip on reality.

In fact, erasing the history and legacy of the Kansas City Chiefs would erase the legacy of one of Kansas City’s past mayors who was a major promoter of Native American culture.
Harold Law “Chief” Bartle, who served as mayor of Kansas City, Missouri from 1955 to 1963, also came to office as a member of the Arapaho tribe as a young man.
“Mr. Bartle joined the Northern Arapaho Nation as a blood brother and was sponsored by a chief named Lone Bear,” said Scout historians David L. Eby and Paul Myers Jr. It’s written in the biography.
Bartle became a major organizer of the Boy Scouts in St. Joseph, Missouri in the 1920s, incorporating many Native American cultural influences into his activities with children. He was given the nickname “Chief” during his time in the Scouts, and he carried that nickname and his love and fascination with Indigenous culture throughout his life and into his time as KC Mayor.
When the AFL’s Dallas Texans moved from Dallas to KC, Bartle was instrumental in renaming the NFL team the Chiefs. Team owner Lamar Hunt at the time wanted to name the team the Kansas City Texans. But Bartle convinced him to go to the Chiefs instead. Bartle had a huge impact on the city and created a major focus on Indigenous history.
Hunt said he even fell in love with the Chiefs name because Kansas City and the surrounding area had a lot of active Native American communities, something he hadn’t seen in other large cities. forbes I have written.
But now liberals and Waystars want to erase this proud history.
“Native American history is American history,” Tony Henson, executive director of the North Dakota-based Native American Guardian Association (NAGA), told Fox News. “This effort to divide us is by an ‘America-hating’ Marxist crowd who want to destroy tradition and rebuild America in their own image.”
The Chiefs have already succumbed to leftover cancel culture, telling fans not to chant “chop” and banning the use of Indigenous headdresses and paraphernalia.

To make matters worse, the team now officially claims that its name has “nothing to do with American Indian culture,” but looking back at the team’s history of relocating to Kansas City, this is clearly false. It is.
As far as Hensen is concerned, this entire endeavor is a disgrace. “This effort to erase history and divide us is not what 90% of Americans want. This is not the place for 90% of Native Americans,” he told Fox News. Ta.
