Whoa!! I know what you all are thinking, two post in one day.... wth. I myself am amazed. This post is in regards to the widely known shoe company named Nike. I was kindly informed from a pretty panda that Nike was releasing a shoe for Native Americans. I think its awesome that Nike wants to do something for our Native Americans as this land was all originally theres, but upon doing research about the company releasing the shoe i feel that Nike has failed upon properly naming the shoe. For the shoe has been named Nike N7.... why not Nike N8v? N8v is the street slang for Native. Why N7? When N8 or N8v would make more sense in the naming of the shoe. All i can say is that i believe Nike has failed in doing research when naming there shoe. Way to fail Nike.... way to fail.

Actually N7 is a very appropriate name as it references the Constitution of the Iroquois nation: In every deliberation we must consider the impact of our decisions on the seventh generation.
The original language is as follows: In all of your deliberations in the Confederate Council, in your efforts at law making, in all your official acts, self interest shall be cast into oblivion. Cast not over your shoulder behind you the warnings of the nephews and nieces should they chide you for any error or wrong you may do, but return to the way of the Great Law which is just and right. Look and listen for the welfare of the whole people and have always in view not only the present but also the coming generations, even those whose faces are yet beneath the surface of the ground – the unborn of the future Nation
