SAD NEWS: As Sam Howells carrier is ended as he……….

But then his name, image, achievements — his very existence, really — were erased by the politically connected National Congress of American Indians (NCAI), headquartered in Washington, D.C.

White Calf was erased from the NFL, too. The Redskins, under mounting pressure fueled in large part by the NCAI, dumped its White Calf portrait logo in 2020 and adopted the name Commanders in 2021.

“The Redskins were the only minority representation in the entire NFL and it was a real person, not a mascot,” historian Andre Billeaudeaux of San Diego, California, the author of “How the Redskins Got Their Name,” told Fox News Digital in an interview.

The NCAI counts among its benefactors the George Soros-funded Open Society Foundations. American taxpayers also fund the group.

It receives support from seven federal bureaucracies, including the Department of Defense, according to its own website, as Fox News Digital previously reported.

Beyond the removal of Native logos and representations in pro sports, the NCAI “has tracked the retirement of more than 200 unsanctioned Native ‘themed’ mascots since 2019, and has supported legislation banning the use of these mascots in multiple states,” the group said in a statement last year to Fox News Digital.

Yet “these decisions never have popular support,” said Eunice Davidson, a Dakota Sioux and president of the Native American Guardians Association (NAGA), to Fox News Digital last week.

Many of those images were founded up to a century ago to celebrate local Native heritage — and not all were mascots.

Some — like the man who was the face of the Redskins — were real people who made a profound impact on America.

Chief White Calf advanced Native agenda in D.C.

Even before his face was beamed from NFL football fields into millions of American homes each Sunday in the fall, Chief White Calf’s name and image were familiar to people all across the United States and elsewhere.

“He provides one of the most readily recognizable images of a Native American in the world,” the Native American Heritage Project website reported in 2012
