So - they admired the native Americans and appropriated a bunch of their customs and notable figures for their political club. It was a bit of a thing at the time.
The actual native Americans weren't involved though, were they? Tamanend wasn't involved, was he?
This isn't about 'dropping the rich heritage of a Native American of a previous generation'. It's about not using the name red skins. None of us know what Tamanend would have thought about the name redskins. My guess is he wouldn't see it as a compliment.
