Sports FILE - In this Oct. 24, 2019, file photo, Native American leaders protest against the Redskins team name and logo outside U.S. Bank Stadium before an NFL football game between the Minnesota Vikings and the Washington Redskins in Minneapolis. Many Native Americans thought a bitter debate over the U.S. capital's football mascot was over when the team became the Washington Commanders.

Daines said the Biden administration did not consult with his office about the nomination, a claim the White House disputes.
Walter Wetzel suggested a profile of a former Blackfeet chief, John Two Guns White Calf. A likeness of that image would be used from the 1972 season until it was retired in 2020. But Native American advocates and researchers say use of the old logo is an inappropriate and harmful path to achieving justice and equity for Indigenous peoples. No matter how the image was chosen, it cannot be separated from the racial slur it once promoted, said Crystal Echohawk, a member of the Pawnee Nation and the founder and CEO of Illuminative, a nonprofit that works to increase the visibility of Native Americans. She called the former logo a “dog-whistle” to the team’s former name.
“The continued use of these racist images prevents Native Americans from existing and being honored within contemporary social contexts,” she said.In Montana, some Blackfeet Nation council members wonder why so little of the millions of dollars the football team generated off the image of White Calf and designed by a former Blackfeet Nation chairman never made it back to the Blackfeet people.
