In response to widespread disagreement over the meaning of the name Redskins, I have crafted this interpretive totem pole of words, in lieu of a peace pipe, to help guide at least some Washington football team fans along the path to enlightenment. “What [Redskins] means is tradition, what it means is competitiveness, what it means is honor,” team owner Daniel Snyder has said. “It is not meant to be derogatory.”
