Poll: 9 in 10 Native Americans do not oppose 'Redskins' name (Shutdown Corner)

Washington's NFL team name has been the source of controversy for decades, a controversy that's ramped up in recent years as groups on multiple fronts have protested the use of the name 'Redskins.' A new Washington Post poll has brought the question surging back to the fore with a definitive finding: 9 of 10 Native Americans do not have a problem with the name.

The poll surveyed 504 Native Americans in every state and the District of Columbia over a five-month period that ended in April, and included respondents from a wide range of demographic classes.
