For now. Things can change fast once the woke mob gets involved.

The way I see it is this: unless you're Sauk--or specifically a descendant of Chief Blackhawk; your opinion doesn't matter--and from what I gather the bulk of the Sauk have no issue with it--therefore it's a non-issue.
If having a rather generic depiction of someone of a specific race is a bad thing--then we gotta not only get rid of the Canuck's alternative logo of "Johnny Canuck" since "canuck" could be considered offensive to Canadians--even though most Canadians I know have no problem with it whatsoever), but also the Brampton Battalion, since that could be considered offensive to white people in the military.

So.... that's all well and good. but on the other side.... I've seen none of this cultural outreach and celebration they talk about here? I'm not saying they should change or anything, but speaking a long history of awareness when... well... I haven't seen anything heavily promoted outside maybe a scholarship fund I couldn't name right now, is a bit... well corporate response.

My favorite teams
This is under the community tab on the team webpage...not a lot...
Chicago Blackhawks | Chicago Blackhawks
The official National Hockey League website including news, rosters, stats, schedules, teams, and video.
I do know a Native American group in Chicago the Hawks were affiliated with broke ties with them last year. I also recall that the team donated to help with restoration and preservation of the Black Hawk historic site in Rock Island but cannot find an article to confirm that.

Yeah, about what I expected, I wonder how much their yearly grant is, I fear they may have drawn more attention to the tokenism than anything else at this point, but hope it's all for the best. Seems idiots on twitter are only worried about they being called Native, or Native Americans instead of using Indigenous people. Because they're tone deaf for not being inclusive in their statement of all indigenous people. Fucking Canadians. Yeah I said it.This is under the community tab on the team webpage...not a lot...

The problem with SJWing is that once activism starts to get what they want they usually don't slow down. It has a tendency to get more extreme because they need new causes.
The Black Hawk logo will become a target at some point.
