Why Did Indian Rodeo Reject 'Redskins' Name and Dan Snyder's Money?

The Native American tribe leading the fight to change the Washington Redskins name is locked in a dispute—one that includes accusations of lying, bribery and exploitation—with the foundation that team owner Dan Snyder created to help Indians in need.

On one side is the Oneida Indian Nation, backed by millions of dollars in casino money, and on the other is the Washington Redskins Original Americans Foundation, backed by millions of dollars in Snyder’s money.

In the middle is the Indian National Finals Rodeo, a volunteer-led organization in constant financial trouble that hosts what is essentially the World Series for Native American cowboys and cowgirls.
