A school I would visit had a native American name for their sports teams. I attended a game where they opened the season with local tribe members singing, and drumming, the dedicated it to the coach of the opposing team who died during off season. If you've never heard Native American music live in person you really should, it's like nothing else.
Several local tribes supported the school using the name, but one chose not to. The school the had to use another name, logo, etc.
It struck me how nothing seemed to be gained except distance ....
