IrishLakes, I couldn't imagine any of those things being offensive to anyone. But 50 years ago, I doubt there was any but a small minority of natives who thought Oklahoma's Little Red was offensive (I know no Indians who wouldn't fully support a return of Little Red). So really, yes, the towns of Tecumseh and Shawnee and Arapaho and many of our Oklahoma counties and indeed our state might have to change our names lest we be accused of cultural appropriation.
