If the Cherokee Nation was this offended by the tomahawk, wouldn’t it have been discussed around him before now?

I don't know about the Oklahoma Cherokee, but the NC Cherokee have no issue with it. Back during the '90s they owned and staffed the factory that made the foam tomahawks that were sold and used as promotional giveaways. Not sure if they still do or not, but they were fine with the association, just as the Seminoles have no issue with FSU.
