Congressman calls for #Redskins #ChangeTheName on House floor - washingtonpost/blogs/dc-sports-bog/wp/2013/11/19/congressman-calls-for-redskins-name-change-on-house-floor/ “Although the years since this treaty was concluded have seen much devastation and tribulation for Native Americans, today the Haudenosaunee endure and maintain their culture. Now, we have much to do to improve our relationship between our two peoples, after centuries of strife, conflict and repression. But so many are working to mend the rifts, and restore the promise of brotherhood and respect that this treaty belt contains. I joined a group of canoers last summer, Native Americans, European Americans, Asian and African Americans, who rode together across upstate New York and to New York City to commemorate this 400-year old agreement. “Wouldn’t it be great if, in order to show reverence and respect for the Haudenosaunee and the Native American tribes across this country, that we continue to do these things? And wouldn’t it be great if, in the 400th anniversary of this groundbreaking treaty, we could right the wrong, and change this NFL team’s name?
