"Historically, we are Chiefs, we are Warriors... we are proud of these names, images.â},{"
High-profile tribal activists have joined the fight for Massapequa to retain its Chiefs team name, emphasizing a strong cultural pride in such identities. Frank Black Cloud from the Spirit Lake Nation criticized the proposed changes, arguing that historic names like 'Chiefs' embody pride rather than offense. Trump's recent support for the community's stance highlights a divide between local sentiment and state regulations. Critics argue this effort to preserve the name confronts ongoing debates about representation and respect for Indigenous peoples, an issue underscored by local sentiments against erasing history.
