Native American groups pushed back Wednesday against MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred's claim that Indigenous communities support the Atlanta Braves' tomahawk chop.
"The Braves have done a phenomenal job with the Native American community,"on the field at Minute Maid Park in Houston."The Native American community in that region is wholly supportive of the Braves' program, including the chop.
But Jason Salsman, a spokesman for Chief David Hill of the Muscogee Nation, said Manfred can't base his opinion on any one stance from a Native community. Manfred said he consulted with local Cherokees. None of the three federally recognized bands of Cherokees is based in Georgia.
