There's a bunch of different tribes, I don't believe you can speak for all of them, if any.
Nope, but a recent study by the California State University San Bernadino shows that over two-thirds of Native Americans think the nickname "Redskin" is offensive. In the US of A, that's known as super-majority.
When the campaign to ban the "Redskin" nickname in public schools was being pushed through California Assembly by the National Congress of American Indians, a grand total of ZERO tribe in the California stood up and say "No way! That nickname is cute, we like to keep it". Nor is there anyone protesting in the streets now that the Governor signed it into law.
Incidentally, the same study also showed that over two-thirds of people who AREN'T Native Americans don't think it's offensive. That would explains you and a few others in this thread, who couldn't comprehend why the Natives don't like that adorable nickname.
