Most school teams at least around here a few years ago changed all the indians and other native american refrences due to native american protest.
I really can't speak how offensive it is or isn't, someone who is native american could... A lot of us don't see the big deal in "Indians" or "warriors" etc... but the Native Americans it has value and they find it offensive.
Calling a team the "Indians" was compared to calling a team the "Blacks" and calling a team the RedSkins is comparable to calling a team the "Jew Noses" or "Big Lips" etc...
I don't know a lot about the Native american culture to know what would be offensive and why, maybe someone on here has some info?
