Gotta love white people getting enraged over appropriation of other cultures without even bothering to hear what those other cultures think.
If you read this guys whole twitter thread it smacks of virtue signalling. He thinks he knows best because he's a uni prof not because he's actually talked to any indigenous people about it. - NorthNuck
He thinks the coast salish are Haida.... just jumping on the Holtby helmet media frenzy, just ridiculous. The whale sucks, but it's not racist.
I knew he was you, the Haida used to come and make war with the Salish peoples, take slaves and all that. As an indigenous studies professor, you should know this and not mistake them as the same peoples. The dudes virtue signaling so hard his racism is showing....

How does one interview an entire culture? Would that not be the same as “speaking on behalf of others”?
This is an issue when working with First Nations, you have hereditary chiefs and you have elected chiefs. They too don’t always speak for the entire culture.
Best thing to do is avoid these situations altogether. Pick an emblem, crest, or mascot that has absolutely no connection to any culture or class. Stick in rink or downhill skate are perfect. Other than being ugly it won’t offend. - bloatedmosquito
Or tell people like this university professor to STFU and put an end to idiots like him inventing nonsense in pursuit of their own 15 minutes of notoriety.

See how the years plays out. Got to have space and bodies and if they make a trade, you going to wait two weeks before that player can play. - manvanfan
Like LH suggested, we're a top contender now, we won't be drafting high. If anything we deal some more high picks to help us with the cup run.

Better to trade down a few spots and pick up another pick. Make JB earn it.
