(Chief opinion: For)

Lighten up! If anything, it portrays Native Americans respectfully. Why do people think that when schools and organizations use mascots like this it's disrespectful. I see it the opposite way. If we didn't respect them, we would do everything we could to erase them from memory. Having them as mascots actually promotes their culture.
