Remember the days when we could make an Indian costume out of a paper bag and construction paper at school, and no one gave a shite?

I wish they’d call it call it the Honkey Mobile in honor of me.

I think Jeep Honkey or Jeep Redneck works well.

Us Creeks will license the use of our tribe name for $3.50 a year.
Call me, Jeep.

If they change it now they will be Indian givers.

It sounds like a way to somehow monetize it to benefit the tribe if they can come to a compromise to keep using the name.
Similar to FSU and the Seminoles (although it's more of an indirect connection).
I don't have an issue with them being paid for it and possibly being consulted on how to keep it respectful, but I think it a bit disingenuous to say it's outright dishonoring the tribe.
