Whenever I see, or hear, Jeep Cherokee (or Grand Cherokee), I can honestly say, I have never associated it with the tribe. I was specifically looking for a a Cherokee, Sport, or Grand Cherokee, with the inline-6 engine, a few years back. But, I literally have never associated the tribe to the car. Jeep never used any kind of imagery that was associated with Native American tribes, that I'm aware.
The USA may, one day, have to change the name of 51% of its state names, especially Oklahoma. But, I will plead the case for Wisconsin to stay the same. Wisconsin is from the word “Wishkonsing” meaning “place of the beaver.”
