Cleveland Baseball is looking to change it’s name and we would like to honor local Cleveland Native Americans. 

My great-grandfather and Supreme Chief of Peace, Chief Oghema Niagara Thunderwater loved Cleveland with his entire heart, especially its baseball. He threw many opening pitches, his gravesite is located directly across Progressive Field, and he was somewhat of a local ceremonial celebrity, using his platform to speak on the rights of Native Americans up until his passing in 1950. We would like to propose the name Cleveland Thunder in his honor as a way to respectfully pay homage to this great nation's Natives. He traveled all across the country to fight for the rights of Native Americans and I hope we can make him proud. Plus “Thunderstruck” would be a pretty cool theme song.

Please share in any way you can and spread the word.

“May the best warriors win, as long as they’re Cleveland’s.” - Grandpa Chief, 1948
