Native Americans consist of hundreds of different tribes. I would expect there to be many with differing views on a wide variety of topics.
The exact same could be said for other groups, such as african americans and hispanics, yet could your imagine the term ni**er or wetback being used as a school moniker? i couldnt.
The logical conclusion, in my mind, is that native americans are much less worried about that term than white folks are. in fact, at least a reasonable sized contingent of them see it as a term to take pride in.

The Center for Indigenous Peoples Studies at California State University, San Bernardino has conducted
a study on racial and ethnic perspectives on the team name Redskins and associated issues, and found
that the large majority of American Indians, when properly identified and polled, find the team name
offensive, disrespectful and racist.
