Well, there is historical context—generally speaking, Native Americans / First People DC have NOT benefitted from being identified with bellicose natures and cultures.
Also, the straw man notion of a complimentary motive is belied by the fact that these same franchises have never displayed interest or initiative in understanding or inclusion of these alleged honorees who are nevertheless apparently sufficiently distinct to warrant appropriation for branding purposes.
Regardless, I just wanted to put my thoughts out there. What others make of them is their own concern.
