NCAI calls on the @Commanders and @NFL to honor their promises and own the history and harm they accepted, perpetrated, and profited from for decades. It’s time to apologize and engage with #IndianCountry— Native people are #NotYourMascot.

[J.A. Adande @jadande]

If you think about it, why would Jon Gruden have any qualms about sending slur-filled emails to Bruce Allen at his work account when the address was something like @redskins.com?

We’re proud to support @DebHaalandNM as the first Native American to serve as the Secretary of Interior. Her appointment will be a triumph for Native Americans and an opportunity to ensure qualified management of our great land and resources. @JoeBiden @NCAI1944
