Native American Tribe Rejects Donation From Redskins Owner

When Daniel Snyder started the Original Americans Foundation, the Redskins owner was hoping to earn some goodwill from Native Americans.

The foundation makes charitable donations in the form of money, clothing, medicine and other materials. But one South Dakota group declined to accept a check for $25,000 from Snyder's foundation.

Ryman LeBeau, a member of the Cheyenne River Sioux council, posted on Facebook Wednesday that the council voted to "reject any and all payments received or payments negotiated from the Washington Redskins and/or their organization The Washington Redskins Original American Foundation." The tribe also voted to “cease all unsanctioned communication with the Washington Redskins and any group or person associated with them."
