"Did you know the Washington Redskin's logo was designed by a Native American? Walter "Blackie" Wetzel, chairman of the Blackfeet nation, and president of the National Congress of American Indians had the idea to
put the head of a Native American chief on the Redskins' helmets in
1971."
"It made us all so proud to have an Indian on a big time team. Its only a small group of radicals who oppose those names. Indians are proud of Indians." ......Walter "Blackie" Wetzel

I appreciate the info there. It encouraged me to seek a "more
to the story" article on the history of the man and the logo.
