This is like the textbook story of how to use indigenous likeness in a positive way they benefits boths communities. I love seeing things like this because, to me, a society thats just not able to use indigenous iconography because they are unwilling to tussle with their past wongs is honestly worse.

Knowing that native kids in (well at least this area of)Canada get to grow up playing for a team called the Cheifs because a former Chief of their tribe bestowed the name on the organization is fucking cool. This is the difference between appropriation and representation.
