Billings, MT, October 18, 2026 —

Descendants of Blackfeet Chief Two Guns White Calf are campaigning to restore the “Redskins” name and image used by the former Washington NFL team, according to the trend summary. The summary identifies White Calf as the person who inspired the team’s former logo.

The descendants argue that the logo represents pride and honors their ancestor’s legacy. They also say they were not consulted when the name was removed in 2020 and contend that their family was erased from the decision and its aftermath.

The account describes the family’s position but does not provide the names of the descendants involved, details about how or where they are campaigning, or a specific proposal for restoring the name and image. It also does not identify any response from the team or say whether the campaign has led to a formal review or decision.

The central issue raised by the descendants is the place they believe their family should have had in decisions involving a name and logo connected to their ancestor. Their stated case combines a call to bring back the former identity with a claim that the family’s views were left out when the name was removed in 2020.

Further details about the campaign, including its timing and the specific steps the descendants are seeking, were not provided. The available information also does not explain whether their request is limited to the logo, the name, or both. The descendants’ views and their account of not being consulted are the only positions described in the summary; no response from other parties is included.
