If you can't see the difference between derogatory names given by oppressors and names that were actually used by Native Americans to symbolize power and strength, then that's on you for being wrongly concerned.
You're missing the point completely. The goal is not to erase native American representation. The goal is to erase positive support for words with negative connotations. If you can't dissociate the difference then you are the one with the issue. Tell me, do you think cracker and caucasian have the same connotations?
