LinkLinksOpinion Letter to the Editor of The Post: A better name for the Washington football team By Editor On Jun 26, 2020 Last updated Jun 26, 2020 24 Share The District sits on Piscataway ancestral lands; it was of the Nacotchtank Indians of the Piscataway empire. Our people were of the first to be colonized and forced into assimilation. Centuries later, Daniel Snyder finds it okay to continue using a term for his professional football team that was used as a racial slur referring to the color of our skin and that also gives reference to the time when our people were slaughtered for nothing more than the value of our scalps. That value was determined solely by whether we were a man, a woman or a child. 24 Share FacebookTwitterReddItWhatsAppEmailPrint
