*A warning that this episode does contain content that references historic recounts of violence against Native people, and specifically a historic account of sexual violence against Native women.\n\nThe Washington NFL Team is finally changing its racist name. The battle has been fought in and out of court for decades, and this past weekend the announcement was made that it would retire the name and logo for good. We recently sat down with Amanda Blackhorse on The Huddle prior to the announcement and welcome her back to the show along with Mojave American Poet Natalie Diaz, Olympic Gold Medalist Billy Mills, and Arizona State University Professor of Indigenous education and justice, Bryan Brayboy.
