Yes, Native Americans have higher rates of suicide and substance abuse and the structural correlates go above and beyond "being offended" by things like mascots and negative depictions of Native Americans. So, people who are simplistically looking for outcomes based on offended people and hurt feelings will not understand what is embedded in something like "Conquistadors and Navajos." That also applies to gendered images.
