Using offensive logos/names for a sports team is something that our society is finally changing. These names, such as the "Washington Redskins", show no respect to the indigenous culture and all of the negative events they had to go through.

Although many things we hear about reserves are negative, there are of course positive acts happening on these reserves. As an example, many kids/people are still taught about the indigenous culture so that these practices will never be forgot and will always be passed down from generation to generation.
