- 2:00Speaker 3: It's aim that looks like it's a rock and chair.

- 2:05Speaker 3: sticks on the either side of the big M. And
- 2:07Speaker 3: it's supposed to be the Rocky Gams. The dumbest thing
- 2:10Speaker 3: I've ever seen.
- 2:10Speaker 4: It was empowered.
- 2:11Speaker 5: Why because it was during that woke agenda when so
- 2:13Speaker 5: many women and men who were standing up for that stuff.
- 2:16Speaker 4: Absolutely they were winning.
- 2:17Speaker 3: Absolutely So she's big, braddy kind of woman, always mad
- 2:21Speaker 3: about everything. Okay, So what drove me crazy is she
- 2:25Speaker 3: was a part of this obnoxious culture. Yes and we no, no,
- 2:30Speaker 3: just an obnoxious culture. And we all ben the ney
- 2:33Speaker 3: to these people. We did everything to accommodate make them
- 2:36Speaker 3: feel like, oh no, no, we love you, we are
- 2:38Speaker 3: including you. Yet, oh you don't want our logo we've
- 2:40Speaker 3: had for forty years. That's okay, we'll change everything because
- 2:43Speaker 3: you don't like it. Right, And I feel like we're
- 2:47Speaker 3: all awake now, every one of us.
- 2:50Speaker 4: We're done.
- 2:50Speaker 3: We're done.
- 2:51Speaker 4: We want our logo.
- 2:52Speaker 5: The Indian an Indian group and the intendent fought against
- 2:56Speaker 5: her and they were like her next.
- 2:57Speaker 3: Door neighbor is Native American and her next neighbor's father
- 3:02Speaker 3: was a part of the group that educated and yeah,
- 3:06Speaker 3: and she herself said, this would be a slap, This
- 3:09Speaker 3: is a slap in our face. This was a tribute
- 3:12Speaker 3: to us in my heritage. This wasn't hurting us.
- 3:15Speaker 1: I went to junior high school in Tacoma, Washington, and
- 3:19Speaker 1: we went to Hot Loft Junior High School. We were
- 3:21Speaker 1: the Hot Loft Indians, Okay, in Washington State where there
- 3:25Speaker 1: happened to be a lot of tribes. The pulp Indians
- 3:27Speaker 1: got a whole bunch of chinook, a whole bunch of
- 3:29Speaker 1: tribes up and down the Pacific coast. Right, So we
- 3:31Speaker 1: were the Hutlaft Indians. Well, they changed their name to
- 3:35Speaker 1: the hot Loft Hurricanes in Washington State. Now we had lots.
- 3:40Speaker 2: Of Indians, but we've never had Washington State, you know.
- 3:47Speaker 5: And this is during that time when they were taking
- 3:50Speaker 5: in Jemima's face off of the syrup and the family
- 3:54Speaker 5: was upset about it is a slap, the Uncle Ben's
- 3:57Speaker 5: all the things that were paying, like you said, paying
- 4:00Speaker 5: a tribute to this group, this culture, these people that
- 4:04Speaker 5: started it.
- 4:04Speaker 3: What do you think of when you think of them?
- 4:07Speaker 4: Brave heroics, strong? Yes, successful, I mean yes, they started the.
- 4:13Speaker 1: Uncle Ben and the Antine Mima. Yes, successful in spite
- 4:17Speaker 1: of the races. That's right, right, Why would you want
- 4:19Speaker 1: to name your brand after that? Because they were really
- 4:21Speaker 1: good at waka.
- 4:22Speaker 5: And during that woke period, it was all of us
- 4:25Speaker 5: screaming this very thing, like why even the families of
- 4:29Speaker 5: would you take note of that and have somebody This
- 4:33Speaker 5: is when I am so grateful that the country sent
- 4:37Speaker 5: a mandate and is sending Trump back into office because
- 4:42Speaker 5: we recognized during that time period everything was just completely
- 4:47Speaker 5: backwards us and it didn't feel right and taking away.
- 4:51Speaker 4: You know, like you said, the.
- 4:53Speaker 5: People, the smaller, the one percenters were empowered and emboldness
- 4:57Speaker 5: because they were the ones that were getting they weren't
- 4:59Speaker 5: getting canceled. They're getting heralded as a hero for standing
- 5:02Speaker 5: up against this stuff.
- 5:03Speaker 3: In our own world, in their own little click. That's
- 5:06Speaker 3: right of obnoxious people.
- 5:08Speaker 1: Well, along all those brands, you know, the Land of
- 5:11Speaker 1: Lakes Butter. They took the Indian off the Land of
- 5:14Speaker 1: Lakes Butter, which means we stole the land from We
- 5:16Speaker 1: kept the land, we just got rid of the Indian
